Flowering Lotus Announcement View this email in your browser   Dear Friends of Flowering Lotus An Extraordinary Meditation Opportunity   October 18th-21st  Investigating the Mind with Shaila Catherine Although meditation is renowned for promoting tranquility and mental calmness, meditation is not passive. Investigative methods  play a vital role in the skillful development of mindfulness, wisdom, and liberating insight. In this insight meditation retreat we will cultivate ways to investigate the mind, working with hindrances and clarifying perceptions. We will examine the quality of our minds to understand how we might meet life’s experiences free from suffering. This silent meditation retreat will include sitting and walking meditation, meditation instruction, and teachings. Shaila Catherine is the founder of BODHI COURSES, an online Dhamma Classroom, and of Insight Meditation South Bay, a Buddhist meditation center in Silicon Valley, California. She has been practicing meditation since 1980 and teaching internationally since 1996. Catherine studied under Asian masters in India, Nepal, and the forest monasteries of Thailand as well as Western teachers Lama Surya Das, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and Christopher Titmjss. After completing a one-year silent meditation retreat exploring jhāna as the basis for insight, she authored Focused and Fearless, an introduction to the absorption states of jhāna. From 2006-2015 she practiced under the direction of Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw; she authored Wisdom Wide and Deep: A Practical Handbook for Mastering Jhāna and Vipassana to help make this traditional approach to samadhi and vipassana accessible to Western practitioners..   To register for this Retreat visit our website: http://www.floweringlotusmeditation.org/retreat-registration.html In an effort to include everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, our retreats are dana-based. Dana is the Pali word meaning generosity. We ask that you donate as much as you can to help with the costs of operating our Center and Program. You will have the opportunity to donate both to Flowering Lotus and to our teacher, who receives no pay or honorarium for her services. There is a $75 transferable fee due at registration.
