This program combines the two main elements of the Buddha’s model of liberation: cultivating the meditative absorptions (jhānas), which lead to calm and clarity, and insight into the dependent co-origination (paticca-samuppada) of phenomena. As part of our understanding of how these two teachings inform each other, we will look at selected texts from the Pali suttas, including the famous Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, to highlight both the practice of concentration and insight into dependent co-origination.


Prerequisites:

This program is for those who have completed at least two one-week or longer silent vipassana retreats.
