Description
‘Citta’ is perhaps the single most important reference point in Buddhist practice; it is that which is subject to ignorance and has the potential for liberation. Although the word is often translated as ‘mind’, in practice ‘mind’ falls short of the scope and the intimacy of ‘citta’. Although ‘heart’ is another useful option, this doesn’t cover citta’s full potential for samādhi, wisdom and release.
In this online retreat, we’ll explore some ways in which the term is used in the context of the Pali Canon, as well as practices for revealing and clearing citta through meditation and inquiry.
The majority, if not all sessions' timing will be suitable for both Europe and the USA. In addition, all sessions will be recorded and released to participants immediately after they take place.
Time will include regular meditation periods, talks and dialogues. There will be some opportunities to talk to each other at the beginning and end of the retreat. Although we will be meeting online, we will cultivate a sense of community and shared purpose during the retreat.
We hope that this retreat will be a creative way to respond to the current situation and that it will support us all in this time.
