"Whatever grounds there are for making merit productive of a future birth, all these do not equal a sixteenth part of the liberation of mind by loving-kindness. The liberation of mind by loving-kindness surpasses them and shines forth, bright and brilliant.”

Year-End Retreat Part II

Wednesday, December 24 to Thursday, January 1, 2009
(8 Nights)

Register

Level: Intermediate
What does Intermediate mean?

To ensure the undisturbed quality of the retreat, participation is limited to experienced Bhavana Society meditators only. You must have done one nine day retreat at Bhavana to register for this retreat.  Open for dedicated retreatants to observe the year’s end. In order for the retreat to run smoothly, retreatants will be expected to bring their mindfulness practice into daily life by doing daily jobs, as is done on regular meditation retreats at Bhavana. Participants may attend part 1, 2 or both. 


Note: First time people should be at Bhavana by 4:30 p.m. on the first day of the retreat. Everyone else should be here by 5:00 p.m.. All retreats end after lunch on the last day.
Although every retreat is slightly different here is a typical retreat daily schedule.
