SUMMARY:Vipassana: Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A 10-dayTranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM) residential retreat, led by Dhammacariya Delson Armstrong.\nHe offers clarity in teaching meditation as described in the earliest Buddhists texts. Participants are instructed and guided in the practice of tranquil wisdom insight meditation (TWIM). This is the method taught by the Buddha and described in the earliest Buddhist texts. TWIM is ideal for beginning students or advanced meditators seeking to cultivate greater clarity leading to nibbana. The primary focus in this retreat is on individual meditation practice. Each evening Delson presents a selected discourse by the Buddha with analysis and discussion. On multiple days there will be individual interview sessions.\nThe retreat is neither difficult nor a test of endurance, but rather a joy-filled journey on the middle path of clarity and wisdom. Every day an instructional talk, based on early Buddhist texts from the Majjhima Nikāya, along with anecdotes from personal experience, is shared as the evening Dhamma talk. A daily one-on-one personal teacher interview provides each participant with individualized guidance and instruction. The retreat program provides an integrated and supportive environment for optimizing meditation practice. Eight precepts comprising a code of moral conduct are maintained during the retreat, which is conducted in mindful silence with an emphasis on ease and lightheartedness.\n \nAbout the Teacher—\nDhammacariya Delson Armstrong is from Indian descent and grew up in the US. With his interest in spiritual development, he attained all six degrees of Kriya Yoga under the lineages of Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahamsa Hariharananda. He has studied Upanishadic contemplative practices and through study and application of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, he has attained all ten levels of Samadhi. He has also practiced Jnana Yoga through the lineages of Ramana Maharishi and Nisargadatta Maharaj, attaining the level of Sahaja Samadhi (effortless absorption).\nSince he completed an online retreat in 2016 with David Johnson based on the suttas and tranquil wisdom insight meditation, Bhante Vimalaramsi specifically asked him to teach. Currently he is providing dhamma talks, participates in interviews, writes books and guides online and physical retreats. His teachings are freely available to all and Dhammacariya lives by the dhamma.\nIndicative Daily Schedule—\n5:30 AM Wake up\n6:00 AM Sitting meditation and taking precepts\n7:00 AM Breakfast\n7:30 AM Yogi Job\n8:00 Self-directed meditation\n11:30 Lunch\n12:00 pm Rest\n13:00 Daily Interviews\n13:00 Meditation on your own\n17:30 Tea time\n18:00 Dhamma talk\n20:00 Self-directed meditation\n22:00 Further practice or sleep\n \n \n
