Über den Rückzug
This is the wonderful Seal of the Dharma, the Three Doors of Liberation. If you learn and practice it, you will certainly attain pure knowledge.
– Der Buddha
During this mini-retreat, we will study and contemplate the Buddha’s Sutra on The Dharma Seal and The Three Doors to Liberation. The Seals are Leere, Signlessness und Aimlessness. According to the Buddha, these three doors are passageways that lead to freedom from suffering. The purpose of this mini-retreat is to encourage practitioners to recognize and embody their own freedom and power – and bring the Buddha’s teaching into their daily life.
This Mini-Retreat Offers:
- An opportunity to study a Buddhist Sutra in community
- An opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Buddha’s teachings
- Instructions on practical applications of Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism
- Teachings on Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s advice on postmeditation practice
- An opportunity to engage in meditation from the comfort of your own home or practice space
- Journaling opportunities
