This workshop is for meditators with some experience of meditation and a regular practice. 
 
One commentator observed that the term <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anapanasati" style="text-decoration:none;">Anapanasati</a> (mindfulness of breathing) does not just mean mindfulness established on in and out breathing, it means that mindfulness is established on an object with each breath in and out. Initially one establishes mindfulness on the breathing itself, then on different kinds of feeling, then on different states of mind, then the characteristic of impermanence, and finally on relinquishment itself which is the ultimate objective of the practice. This same mindfulness can be more than a meditation technique, it can be an approach to the whole of life. This workshop will explore how we might use the technique developed in meditation, to inform everything we do throughout the day.

This workshop will be held in the Akashaloka annex on the Aryaloka property.

Come to both or either of these day long workshops exploring anapanasati.

Led by: Satyada’s name was given to him at the time of his ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order and translates in English as “a giver of truth” or “one who gives the true Dharma”. He lives the teachings of the historical Buddha with sincerity and conviction. He teaches from his heart. As Chair of the Aryaloka Board of Directors he leads the Aryaloka community not only as a talented administrator but also as a mindful and compassionate Buddhist, familiar with facing all the spiritual challenges of life. Through his outreach work in prisons, his teaching at Aryaloka, and his many friendships, he exemplifies his name to all those touched by the Aryaloka community.
