Exploring Equanimity as the Ground for Tranquility and Wisdom
Half-Day Retreat
Wednesday, January 1st
10am - 2pm in Point Reyes
Equanimity is the ground for an embodied practice of compassion, tranquility and wisdom. Equanimity is the fourth Brahma vihara, the most common Pali word used is Uppekha, translated to mean “to see with patience”. We might understand this as “seeing with understanding or seeing with wisdom”.
With repeated practice in this way of looking, we are more and more able to release clinging, and to sustain a relationship with our experience that attempts to let go moment to moment. As we do so, we witness and feel clearly how the sense of suffering is eliminated from experience exactly to the degree that clinging is calmed.
“An Equanimous Mind is a Free Mind” ~Ajahn Sucitto
This half day of practice will include a Dharma talk, meditation, somatic movement, and self-inquiry practices.
