Yogi Milarepa said, “Through meditation, you gain all knowledge.” Meditation is the key to love and compassion. It can relieve mental illnesses such as depression as well as reduce anxiety and stress. Meditation can be compared to a lasso that captures the mind. The Shravasti Meditation curriculum, according to the Anapanasati Sutra (The Sutra of the Mindfulness of Breathing) in combination with yogic exercises and meditation, that was taught extensively by H.H. Drikung Kyabgon Thinley Lhundup. This extremely profound mindfulness of breathing in-and-out meditation method in sixteen steps was first practiced by Buddha after realizing that ascetic practices would not yield fruitful results. He then calmly practiced Anapana and consumed food, through which he attained buddhahood. At that time, Anapana meditation, regarded as the essence of Buddhist practice, was the main practice among all Buddha’s followers. In sixteen steps based on the four foundations of mindfulness, this method guides us to develop greater awareness of the body, sensations, mind, and phenomena through the interaction of our breath. In this silent weekend retreat, we will introduce the basic steps and then primarily familiarize ourselves with the basic silent sitting meditation with breath observation in order gain direct personal experience, accompanied by simple yoga exercises and walking meditation. Wear comfortable clothing and bring your own preferred meditation cushion.
