Day Meditation Retreat : "Sila, The Foundation Of The Path" with Ajahn Brahmali

Add Review
We sometimes struggle with our meditation practice, but have we looked carefully at the well-structured teachings of the Buddha? He describes the stages of the path to Enlightenment clearly and it all begins with sila, ethics. The Buddha said that stillness founded on virtue is of great fruit and benefit: "Sila paribhavito samadhi, mahapphalo hoti mahanisamso." ~ DN16 Mahaparinibbana Sutta. Drawing on the early Buddhist texts and his own extensive experience, Ajahn Brahmali will describe how to develop beautiful qualities such as generosity, kindness and harmlessness that give rise to blameless bliss. Empowered by these qualities the mind becomes so energised and bright, that meditation happens naturally, in a way that leads to freedom.

There will be an opportunity to donate towards that aim at the retreat in person, or via our website here. We are extremely fortunate to have three monastics attending this retreat: Ajahn Brahmali, Ven Canda and Ven Upekkha.
