In-person: Developing Concentration Retreat

  • Aug 30, 2024 - Sep 2, 2024
  • 3:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Developing Concentration Meditation Retreat
A 3-day course over the Labor Day holiday with Venerable Thubten Chodron
August 30 @ 3:00 pm – September 2 @ 2:00 pm PDT

A motionless figure seated cross-legged, eyes lowered, and radiating peace: this is, perhaps, the most universal image of Buddhist meditation. It may look simple, but that concentrated state comes from skilled instruction and lots of practice. And anyone can learn to do it. Meditative concentration can be developed steadily over time.

Join Ven. Thubten Chodron and thd Sravasti Abbey Community for a three-day weekend of instruction and practice. This retreat is excellent for beginners and long-term meditators, too.

The retreat will be held in noble silence. This retreat is in-person only.

Check the Sravasti Abbey website for registration info and retreat schedule.
