Level III: Awakening Wisdom
With Tergar Instructor Edwin Kelley
In this weekend retreat, we will explore the practice of insight meditation. By bringing our unchallenged beliefs and patterns into the light of awareness, we can see how our rigid ideas often blind us to the richness of our true nature. The wisdom that arises through insight meditation allows us to see our inner experience clearly. This leads to a sense of freedom, well being, and confidence that is rooted in awareness itself and available to us each and every moment.
The schedule for this weekend workshop includes DVD teachings by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, presentations on the key points of meditation practice by Tergar instructor Edwin Kelley, as well as guided meditations and discussion.
This retreat is open to meditators who have previously attended Joy of Living Level I and II meditation workshops and have met the practice requirements, and also to those who have not attended these workshops, but who have practiced meditation regularly for at least three years. For those who have not previously attended Joy of Living Levels I and II, we recommend that meditators attend these teachings in the future before continuing further.
We do need fifteen registered attendees to confirm this event, so please register early if you plan to attend.
