SUMMARY:Vipassana meditation Cittanupassana weekend 5 - 6 July – Adi Ichsan - day 1
DESCRIPTION:Special Vipassana meditation Cittanupassana weekend in Samana\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam. \nAdi Ichsan will be giving a Cittanupassana (establishing observation on active consciousness) weekend retreat with a preparatory stage of recognizing infinite space (akasanancayatana) and recognizing the mind element (mano). \nIn Theravada dhamma the mind (nama) is composed by space element and the mind element\, just as the body (rupa) is composed by the 4 tactile elements (earth\, air\, water and fire). Therefore\, possessing the ability to recognize and experience the space element and mind element will make it easier for a yogi to distance; objectivate; and detach identification with thoughts\, ideas\, perceptions\, mind states and mind objects that appear in the yogi’s realm of consciousness. In turn this detachment with the own mind will enable the yogi to realize quicker the three characteristics of the active consciousness\, and if supported by wholesome merit may give a chance to see and experience the end (vaya) of conscious awareness (viññana). \nThe weekend is advised as suitable for yogis with longer cittanupassana training or experienced Mahasi style vipassana yogis. It is not recommended for beginners nor curiosity seekers. \nThose who have practiced cittanupassana but have difficulty in making distancing from the content of their own thoughts and ideas\, are advised to join this practice. \nRegistration is required. \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 can also participate 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. We can then invite the next person on the waiting list.\n\nPlease note the advice to prevent respiratory infections \nFrom our point of view on buddhist ethics respiratory infections are a risk for teachers and participants as well as for those present to contaminate others.
