SUMMARY:Vipassana meditation weekend 15 - 16 November – Adi Ichsan - day 1
DESCRIPTION:For those with some experience practicing Vipassana meditation. Registration required; guidance provided by Adi Ichsan\, in Samana. \nPractical deepening of traditional Vipassana\, emphasizing the distinction between body (Rupa) and mind (Nama). The focus is on the process of spiritual growth (Yogavacara) through the work of diligence\, mindfulness\, and clear understanding (Atapi\, Sati\, Sampajano). \nParticipants are expected to understand how “involvement” with doing\, feeling\, thinking and being affects the maintenance of suffering (Dukkha) and spiritual defilements (Kilesa Tanha). \nFurthermore\, attention will be paid to the supporting functions of discipline (Sikhati) and wise contemplation (Yoniso Manasikara). The method employed will confront the yogi with discomfort\, impermanence\, and meaninglessness\, in every physical or mental posture. The exercises will be expanded to include standing\, walking\, lying\, and prostration meditation. \n\nHours: Days are from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM\, including a vegetarian/vegan lunch. Please arrive a little earlier; you’re welcome from 9:40 AM.\nLocation: Samana\, Droogbak 11 in Amsterdam.
