Spirit Rock Daylong with Ajahn Karunadhammo

Description: On Sunday, August 12, Ajahn Karunadhammo will lead a daylong retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center from 9 am to 5 pm in the Community Meditation Center. The topic will be Fully Understanding Dukkha - Exploring the First Noble Truth.


From the description on Spirit Rock's website:


The first step toward liberation is acknowledging and fully understanding the noble truth of dukkha (suffering, unsatisfactoriness). We will explore different kinds of dukkha, which kinds we are able to impact, and ways to frame and express skillful responses that lead to the ending of dukkha. We can use the experience of dukkha to develop the strength and skill to end dukkha rather than repetitively reinforcing it.


There will be periods of sitting and walking meditation, Dhamma reflections, and time for discussion and questions.


Please see Spirit Rock's website for more information.
