A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All Manner of things shall be well T.S. Eliot - Little Gidding The Buddha's teachings on simplicity provide an essential component for living a life of contentment and freedom. This retreat is designed to explore the many aspects of this teaching through the practice of continuous mindfulness meditation in silence throughout the day—in sitting and walking meditation. There will also be time for discussion to support this process happening in the silence. In the silence, we can begin to move toward meeting life in a more simple and authentic way.
