International Urban Retreat 2015 November 21-28
Living in the Greater Mandala
One of the best ways to support our practice is to go on retreat – take a week or more to move away from our normal habitual surroundings, live a simple life with a degree of silence and solitude, some Dharma input and time for more meditation than usual. But for some of us it is hard to get away on retreat – and in any case, the fact is that we spend most of our life immersed in ‘life’ – work, kids, commuting, doing the shopping, and the myriad and endless potential distractions of the 21st century.
The International Urban Retreat is a week of online talks, teachings, led meditations, and other resources – all designed to help you practise the Buddha’s teachings more effectively as you go about your day. The retreat begins on November 21st and ends on November 28th. On the first day you can take part in a worldwide Metta Wave loving kindness meditation at 4pm local time! Join us and help carry on the Metta Wave all week…
