Monastic Retreat 2010 registration open

August 01, 2010

 
Abhayagiri Monastery in Redwood Valley, California and the Sanghapala Foundation invite you to join Ajahn Pasanno and the Abhayagiri Community for a ten-day retreat over the Thanksgiving holiday. We will create a monastic environment during our time together, and we offer you this opportunity to explore the Dhamma in a setting that differs somewhat from a typical meditation retreat. We will all live the monastery life, following the Eight Precepts, taking only what is offered, and attempting to reflect on our every activity as part of our practice. This will include noble silence, morning and evening chanting, sitting and walking meditation, a work period, and daily Dhamma talks and teachings.   >>
