Vipassana\, which is frequently described as Insight Meditation\, is typically a wisdom-directed approach. \nDuring the 7 sessions\, the meditation student will practice standing\, sitting\, walking and moving exercises to gradually develop temporary concentration based on mindfulness of the body\, feelings\, consciousness and mind objects. The central focus of these exercises is to generate a heightened sense of awareness and alertness of what is experienced by the body and mind from moment to moment\, at any moment. \nIn general\, the practice will help the student to accept reality as it is\, to develop patience\, endurance and determination. \nVenue for all sessions is Karunika\, Meerhuizenplein 38\, Amsterdam. \n\n7 Wednesday evenings\, from 17 april to 5 june (17\, 24 april – not 1 May – 8\, 15\, 22 and 29 may\, 5 june)\, from 18:30 until 20:30.\nCourse material is handed during classes.\nMaximum 12 participants.

That is good news .  See https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/tackling-new-coronavirus-in-the-netherlands/preventing-respiratory-infections. \nCurrently\, the advice is limited to preventing respiratory infections.  Following the advice below helps limit the spread of viruses that cause respiratory infections.

DESCRIPTION:The meditation weekend is suitable for all those living in Amsterdam and the surrounding area\, who are interested in getting acquainted with or deepen their practice of Vipassana meditation. \nRegistration is required.  Guidance by Marc Heijmerink\, one of the teachers of Dhammadipa. \nThe Vipassana meditation weekend is based on the approach of ‘attention for the mind’\, cittanupassana and inspired by the approach of Sayadaw U Tejaniya. \nMeditation is an activity of the mind\, in his words.  We meditate with the mind\, not with our body and actually all foundations are to be found in our mind.  Our problems as well as the solution to our problems are found in the mind. \nIn the Satipatthana sutta the 4 foundations of mindfulness are mentioned: mindfulness on the body\, feeling\, mind and dhamma’s. In the weekend there will be instructions on the means to use the mind as a foundation of mindfulness.  Themes that will be addressed will be:  preference / aversion and ignorance in the mind\, right insight\, relaxation in meditation\, right effort and investigation in meditation. \nVenue for all sessions is Karunika\, Meerhuizenplein 38\, Amsterdam. \nDaily schedule\n\n9:45 – 10:00 Arrival and welcome\n10:00 – 12:30 meditation session 1 (walking and sitting)\n12:30 – 13:30 lunch – a vegetarian / vegan lunch is provided\n13:30 – 15:30 meditation session 2 (walking and sitting)\n15:30 – 16:00 pause for refreshments\n16:00 – 17:00 meditation session 3 (sitting)\n17:00 – 18:00 Q&A and Dhamma talk\n\nParticipation\n\nThere is space for maximum 12 participants.\nYou may also join for one day.\nIn case the weekend is fully booked\, you can ask to be placed on a waiting list.\nIf you are unable to attend\, please inform us as soon as possible.

DESCRIPTION:The meditation weekend is suitable for all those living in Amsterdam and the surrounding area\, who are interested in getting acquainted with or deepen their practice of Vipassana meditation. \nRegistration is required.  Guidance by Marc Heijmerink\, one of the teachers of Dhammadipa. \nThe Vipassana meditation weekend is based on the approach of ‘attention for the mind’\, cittanupassana and inspired by the approach of Sayadaw U Tejaniya. \nMeditation is an activity of the mind\, in his words.  We meditate with the mind\, not with our body and actually all foundations are to be found in our mind.  Our problems as well as the solution to our problems are found in the mind. \nIn the Satipatthana sutta the 4 foundations of mindfulness are mentioned: mindfulness on the body\, feeling\, mind and dhamma’s. In the weekend there will be instructions on the means to use the mind as a foundation of mindfulness.  Themes that will be addressed will be:  preference / aversion and ignorance in the mind\, right insight\, relaxation in meditation\, right effort and investigation in meditation. \nVenue for all sessions is Karunika\, Meerhuizenplein 38\, Amsterdam. \nDaily schedule\n\n9:45 – 10:00 Arrival and welcome\n10:00 – 12:30 meditation session 1 (walking and sitting)\n12:30 – 13:30 lunch – a vegetarian / vegan lunch is provided\n13:30 – 15:30 meditation session 2 (walking and sitting)\n15:30 – 16:00 pause for refreshments\n16:00 – 17:00 meditation session 3 (sitting)\n17:00 – 18:00 Q&A and Dhamma talk\n\nParticipation\n\nThere is space for maximum 12 participants.\nYou may also join for one day.\nIn case the weekend is fully booked\, you can ask to be placed on a waiting list.\nIf you are unable to attend\, please inform us as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:Special Satipatthana Vipassana weekend retreat 22 - 23 october – Adi Ichsan - day 1
DESCRIPTION:Special Satipatthana Vipassana weekend retreat in Karunika\, Meerhuizenplein 38\, Amsterdam. \nIntended for more experienced meditators of Vipassana meditation as taught by Mahasi Sayadaw.  Registration is required.  The sessions will be guided by Adi Ichsan. \nIn this weekend\, emphasis is placed on how to practice the Contemplation of Disgust (organs and limbs meditation) and the Elements Contemplation in Vipassana\, as described in the Mahasatipatthana Sutta. \nMost of us have started naming “rising-falling” when following the abdominal breath without realizing that in the Satipatthana the emphasis is not on the mental label of “rising-falling” but on the direct recognition of the involved physical consciousness. \nTherefore\, the recognition and specific awareness of elements and organs/limbs is essential to stay on the Vipassana trajectory and not let the meditation turn into residing in calmness. \nThe point of this approach is to help you realize that you are not a monolithic entity but a conglomeration of smaller entities that all arise\, operate and disappear through specific laws of inter-dependencies. This makes the consciousness more inclined to accept the fact that there is actually no “self” unless you start imagining it yourself. \nDaily schedule\n\n9:45 – 10:00 Arrival and welcome\n10:00 – 12:30 meditation session 1 (walking and sitting)\n12:30 – 13:30 lunch – a vegetarian / vegan lunch is provided\n13:30 – 15:30 meditation session 2 (walking and sitting)\n15:30 – 16:00 pause for refreshments\n16:00 – 17:00 meditation session 3 (sitting)\n17:00 – 18:00 Q&A and Dhamma talk\n\nParticipation\n\nThere is space for maximum 10 participants.\nYou can only participate for the entire weekend.\nIn case the weekend is fully booked\, you can ask to be placed on a waiting list.\nIf you are unable to attend\, please inform us as soon as possible. We can then invite the next person on the waiting list.\n\nPlease note the admission requirements related to Covid-19 / Corona \nFrom our view on Buddhist ethics\, we see Covid-19 as a risk for the supervisors and participants\, but also as a risk to infect others. We have therefore chosen for this moment to limit access to physical activities to people who are demonstrably protected. This is in accordance with the guidelines of the central government (https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/coronavirus-covid-19/corona proof). \nIf you want to participate\, make sure you can show the Corona check app with QR code. Alternatives are a ‘yellow booklet’ completed by the GGD or general practitioners or a PCR test or high-quality self-test with a negative result\, which is done a maximum of 36 hours in advance. \nWe are aware that proof of protection against Covid-19 from ‘alternative’ or ‘non-conventional’ medicine is not accepted. We hope that this will be the case in the foreseeable future. For questions and comments\, please send an email to info@dhammadipa.nl. \nFinally\, government guidelines have been largely relaxed\, but there is still a high number of infections. Dhammadipa therefore chooses to continue to use the above policy for the time being.r now. \nDana\n\nThe meditation weekend is being offered on the basis of dana (a voluntary contribution); with a suggested amount of € 35 per day.\nAt the end of the day or weekend\, there will also be the opportunity to donate extra for the meditation guidance and teachings.\nThe dana can be offered via a bank transfer to the Dhammadipa\, Amsterdam account number NL85 INGB 0005019113\, mentioning ‘vipassana meditation weekend october 2022’.\nThere is also a dana box so that you may offer dana in cash.\n\n

SUMMARY:Intensive 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat 16-26 July 2022
DESCRIPTION:The following text is in Dutch and will soon be made available in English.  In the meantime\, Google Translate ? \n  \nVan 16 t/m 26 juli 2022 wordt een intensieve 10-daagse Vipassana meditatieretraite georganiseerd onder begeleiding van Aad Verboom. \nVoor wie:  de retraite is opengesteld voor iedereen die een intensieve 10-daagse Vipassana retraite wil doen. Enige ervaring met (Vipassana) meditatie is gewenst. \nBegeleiding:  Aad Verboom is verbonden als leraar aan Dhammadipa\, voor meer info zie www.verboomtraining.nl. \nTraditie en beoefening:   Aad Verboom beoefent Vipassana meditatie in de traditie van Mahasi Sayadaw en vanuit de directe methode.  Binnen de directe methode ligt de nadruk op het ontwikkelen van oplettendheid (sati) en de daarbij behorende ‘moment-concentratie’. Diepere concentratie is dan niet nodig.  Wanneer mediterenden in hun beoefening wel meer concentratie (willen) ontwikkelen\, is dit geen probleem\, ieder zijn eigen pad. \nBinnen de traditie van Mahasi Sayadaw wordt intensief beoefend door met name afwisselend de zit- en loopoefening te doen. In deze retraite is de beoefening 24 uur per dag (inclusief slapen). Je beoefent oplettendheid in de zit-\, loop\, sta- en lighouding en gedurende alle andere activiteiten zoals eten\, tanden poetsen enzovoorts. De beoefening is daarmee ononderbroken\, ontspannen en natuurlijk. \nFaciliteiten:  \n\nJe hebt een eigen kamer maar we beoefenen gedurende de dag en avond ook samen in de meditatiezaal\, afwisselend zitten en lopen. Elke avond is er een Dhamma talk en je hebt elke dag een kort gesprek (interview) met de leraar.\nDe locatie is zeer geschikt voor intensieve beoefening van meditatie. We verblijven bij de Zusters van Denekamp – Zusters van Denekamp | Home.\nHet eten is vegetarisch\, met ’s avonds een lichte maaltijd. Dieetwensen kunnen binnen de grenzen van het redelijke vervuld worden.\n\nInschrijving:   \n\nEr is nog een beperkt aantal plaatsen vrij voor de retraite. \nDe inschrijving is op volgorde van binnenkomst. \nAls je geïnteresseerd bent\, stuur een e-mail naar info@dhammadipa.nl en je krijgt een inschrijfformulier toegestuurd. Goed lezen\, invullen\, ondertekenen en mailen. \n\nAls je van tevoren vragen hebt of wilt afstemmen\, neem contact op via aad.verboom@gmail.com.  We kunnen dan een fysieke of Zoom afspraak maken\, e-mailen of bellen. \nAlgemene gegevens:  \n\nDatum: 16 t/m 26 juli 2022\nLocatie: Zusters van Denekamp te Denekamp\, Zusters van Denekamp | Home.\nBegeleiding: Aad Verboom\nKosten: Euro 770.\nAantal deelnemers: maximaal 14.\nDana: aan het einde van de retraite is gelegenheid dana te geven voor het onderricht en/of aan Stichting Dhammadipa.\n\n
