Winter Retreat 2013 Audio Released

We finally finished an mp3 CD of the readings and reflections from the 2013 Abhayagiri Winter Retreat. The retreat theme was Dhammānupassanāsatipaṭṭhāna: The Fourth Foundation of Mindfulness. It began with a series of introductory talks on meditation by Ajahn Pasanno and continued with Ajahn Pasanno, Ajahn Karuṇadhammo, and Ajahn Jotipālo reading selections from the Pāli canon and other sources focused on the five aspects of mindfulness of dhammas (mind objects) from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta: the five hindrances, five aggregates, six sense bases, seven factors of enlightenment, and the four noble truths. The audio is 30 hours long. The CD index file lists the sources for each reading, and the CD contains pdf files of free distribution sources.

The mp3 CD is available for free distribution on the books page. The same material with somewhat lower audio quality is available for download as a 340 MB zip file on the audio page.
