Friday-Sunday, 9 days Meditative Absorptions
(Jhana)
Retreat with Leigh Brasington. This retreat will emphasize the
application of the meditative absorptions in a regular sitting practice and is suitable
only for experienced meditators with prior retreat experience. The Jhanas, commonly
called the meditative absorptions, are a method of one-pointed concentration taught in
Theravaden Buddhism. The retreat will emphasize the teaching of this technique plus its
application to insight (Vipassana) practice. The retreat will be held in Noble Silence
with sitting and walking meditation and personal interviews.
Practice in the meditative absorptions provides a strong and stable foundation
for the arising and understanding of the experience of insight.
Leigh Brasington has been practicing since 1985 and is the senior American student of the
late Venerable Ayya Khema. She confirmed Leigh's practice and requested that he begin
teaching. Leigh assisted Venerable Ayya Khema starting in 1994 and he began teaching
retreats in 1997.
