The Anapanasati Sutta

The Anapanasati Sutta

Thursday 19 August 2021 – Saturday 21 August 2021

This online retreat, led by Dharmananda - a very experienced meditation teacher, will give an introduction to the Anapanasati Sutta, which expounds the practice of Mindfulness of Breathing as taught by the Buddha.

Much of what we gain through mindfulness and meditation comes from letting go of our habits of mind; habits that keep us from enjoying the greater freedoms of being more awake to spiritual truths. In this retreat we will see how such a simple practice as being mindful of our experience can lead us to the ultimate goal of liberation. Within the framework and approach of the Anapanasati Sutta, we will explore this profound teaching from the Buddha.

The Saturday teaching sessions will revise the first three tetrads of the Sutta and Sunday sessions will explore the fourth tetrad.

This retreat is led by Dharmananda in conjunction with the Adelaide Triratna Community. He will present the retreat entirely online and a recording will be available after each session. There will be notes provided for participants.

Participation is by donation / give what you can - to your local centre. Donations to Adelaide Triratna can be made using bank details provided in your confirmation email or you can donate here.
