SUMMARY:Vipassana: Tranquility Wisdom Insight Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:| Maitri | मैत्री विपश्यना शिविर |\n\nA 10-Day Silent Retreat in English led by Bhante Dhammagavesi\n\nThe retreat takes you deep inside your mind with the help of Buddha’s own original discourses known as suttas. A way to deal with everyday problems of life and find peace within while leaving in world and in day-to-day life.\nThe Buddha has taught an ‘easy to understand’ practice that is comfortable, light and fun to learn. It leads you down the Noble Path to understand the true teaching. This teaching has both, “Samatha” (Tranquil Wisdom) and “Vipassana” (Insight) woven into the practice. Lay people can practice his antidote for suffering to manage the challenges they face in today’s world. By changing our minds, we change our lives.\nAbout the Retreat Guide, Bhante Dhammagavesi–\nBhante started his spiritual journey at Wat Pah Nana Chat in Thailand in 2013. He later found that Bhante Vimalaramsi has a method which is easy to understand and immediately effective. He took higher ordination with Bhante Vimalaramsi as his preceptor. He has studied under the guidance of his teacher. He has learned from personally observing the Venerable Teacher during his retreats. Bhante Dhammagavesi is helping out with the Dhamma activities for Samatha-Vipassana Trust in India and Asia region. He has helped organize retreats in Malaysia and India for Bhante Vimalaramsi and Sister Khema. He stays in Sri Lanka and continues his Dhamma practice. He teaches retreats when possible.\nBhante Dhammagavesi will be assisted by Bhikkhu Ananda from Canada https://heartdhamma.love/upasampada/ ( https://heartdhamma.love/upasampada/ ) and Samnera Mettananda from USA\n\nThe retreat will start on 17th evening with a discourse and end on 27th morning after breakfast.\nSchedule for December 18 – 27\n05.00 am: Wake up
