Awareness Jhanas

Day 4 Retreat: In the earliest texts the Buddha described a path to awakening that goes through several stages called "jhanas". These are not the absorption jhanas that have been talked about in the West so often. Rather they are stages of deepening awareness. On this path, the meditation techniques change as we progress. They led to a powerful well-being that is more accessible than most people imagine. This talk traces this path from joy to peace to spaciousness to cessation to freedom.

Really excellent talk, I appreciate your openness. Would love to sit a retreat with you

Thanks so much for sharing day four of this retreat. Really enjoyed the talk and the question-and-answer period. If you do this again please use a microphone when people are asking their questions. it was difficult to hear their questions. Otherwise it was informative, educational, and subtly enlightening 🙏🌹
