Description: A four-day meditation retreat designed by world-renowned meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, with special features unique to the retreats at Dharmalaya
Meditation empowers us to use any situation or experience, even difficult emotions and pain, as a gateway to joy and inner peace. In this second retreat in the Joy of Living series, we explore ways in which meditation can be used to create an open and joyful heart.
Over these four days, we will explore how meditating on love, compassion, joy and equanimity can open our hearts to the world around us and decrease the self-fixation that lies at the root of suffering. In this retreat, we will examine:
- How our tendency to fixate on our own wellbeing creates anxiety and suffering
- How positive mental states like love and compassion erode the causes of dissatisfaction
- How these positive mental states can be cultivated through meditation
- How ordinary experiences, and even ‘negative’ factors like difficult emotions and physical pain, can be transformed into sources of empathy and compassion using the practice of meditation
