Happy Sutta Retreat with Ajahn Brahmali

There are still a few places left on Ajahn Brahmali’s upcoming Happy Sutta retreat, taking place between 14th June – 23rd June in Schneverdingen, Germany.
 
The meditation and sutta-retreat is dedicated to the development of meditation and the study of aspects of the practice. Ajahn Brahmali will focus on the gradual training and therefore use the The Shorter Discourse on the Simile of the Elephant’s Footprint, Majjhima Nikāya 27 as the basis for the retreat. Other suttas will be used to clarify aspects of the teachings.

Jill takes a deeply meditative, integrative approach to yoga, and this was evident in her student’s depth of interest in meditation and the topics discussed. These topics included reconciling science and religious dogmatism, finding ones path, and working with doubt. The talk, as well as a guided body sweep is available through our YouTube channel.
