Metta - the Way of Kindness - 9 Day Retreat
with Venerable Virañani
October 13 - 22, 2023
In this retreat we will develop Metta (a loving, benevolent attitude towards all living beings) in formal sitting and walking meditation as well as in daily activities. Since the time of the Buddha, this form of meditation has been used as a practice for its own sake, and as a support for the development and deepening of insight.
In this special retreat, yogis will have the unique opportunity to learn the practice of mettā meditation from Ayya Virañani who has shared these teachings for many years in Burma and in the west.
This is an 8 precept retreat (no meals after lunchtime) with an option to take 5 precepts. A light supper will be provided for people taking 5 precepts.
The retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
