New Zealand NZDT 08.30 (next day) Awareness is crucial to Insight, but a Dharma perspective is even more important. Without ‘Right View’ informing what we’re aware of, we run the risk of reinforcing ‘wrong views’. Wrong views are naturally present in the unenlightened state, but we can train ourselves to become aware of those ideas and distortions through learning to watch our minds. Mind watching reveals\u00a0how<\/em>\u00a0we are relating to whatever is happening in experience, whether it be a thought, an emotion, or an arising through one of our senses.<\/p>\n We can relate to experience with acceptance, interest, and impartiality. Or we can resist and proliferate around what is happening, seeing a painful state grow before our eyes, feeling that we are seemingly powerless to stop it. All our dukkha; our dis-ease, dissatisfaction and disappointment come from this resistance.<\/p>\n We can see Right View as a ‘curative’ perspective. It helps us see how we cling and how through that clinging we create our own suffering. Mindfulness and Right View give us tools to relate to ourselves in ways that don’t create further suffering for ourselves or others. We have freedom from fixed views and wise attentiveness in the palm of our hands.<\/p>\n There will be talks and led meditations, using the framework of the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha’s primary teaching on Mindfulness. We\u2019ll relate the sutta to the aspects of Spiritual Death and Spiritual Receptivity in our Mandala of Practice.<\/p>\n We will meditate using all 4 postures (walking, sitting, standing and lying down). The emphasis is on continuity of awareness outside of formal practice times. You will receive encouragement to stay present to whatever is happening, and whatever is needed, in any moment. This is a receptive and flexible approach to awareness with kindness as an implicit thread running through it, and understanding and wisdom, a potential in every moment.<\/p>\n Vajradevi’s book ‘Uncontrived Mindfulness: ending suffering through attention, curiosity and wisdom’ is available from Windhorse Publications.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Home Retreat Live Session Times (click to see)” open_toggle_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_tablet=”” title_phone=”Home Retreat Live Session Times (tap to see)” title_last_edited=”on|phone” open_toggle_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” closed_toggle_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” icon_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” icon_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” icon_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” open_icon_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”See the Retreat Session Times” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_line_height=”1.7em” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_font_size=”18px” body_link_font=”|||||||#0c3179|” body_link_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” max_width=”1170px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” title_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”16px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” closed_title_font_size_tablet=”” closed_title_font_size_phone=”16px” closed_title_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”16px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_link_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” body_link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” body_link_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” border_color_all_tablet=”” border_color_all_phone=”” border_color_all_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22body_link_text_color%22,%22body_link_text_color_tablet%22,%22body_link_text_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_tablet%22,%22icon_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22title_text_color%22,%22title_text_color_tablet%22,%22title_text_color_phone%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22border_color_all%22%93}”]First daily session (2 hrs):\u00a0<\/strong>USA PST 01:30 | M\u00e9xico 03:30 | USA EST 04:30 |\u00a0IE & UK 09:30 | Europe CET 10:30 | India 14:00 | Australia AEST 18:30 | New Zealand NZST 20:30<\/p>\n Second daily session (1.5 hrs, with optional breakout rooms):<\/strong> USA PST 07:30 | M\u00e9xico 09:30 | USA EST 10:30 | IE & UK 15:30 | Europe CET 16:30 | India 20:00 | Australia AEST 00:30 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 02:30 (next day)<\/p>\n Third daily session (60-75 mins):<\/strong> USA PST 11:00 | M\u00e9xico 13:00 | USA EST 14:00 | IE & UK 19:00 | Europe CET 20:00 | India 23:30 | Australia AEST 04:00 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 06:00 (next day)<\/p>\n N.B.

She emphasises the value of simply watching the mind.<\/p>\n Before going any further, we move into a period of settling and meditation.\u00a0<\/p>\n After this, Vajradevi expands further on her sense of what “awareness” means.\u00a0One interesting point she makes is that \u201cAny object will do\u201d as a focus for mindfulness practice; any arising sensation within experience can be an object of concentration.<\/p>\n After a brief Q & A, Vajradevi leads another period of meditation. Then the session concludes with another Q & A and a chance to share any reflections from the practice.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1106885473?share=copy” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#CC1618″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}”]<\/p>\n In this session Vajradevi’s approach is rooted in the Buddha’s teaching on the ‘Four Aspects of Right Mindfulness’. To set the stage for the first meditation, she beautifully unfolds the various qualities of sati <\/em>and sampajanna <\/em>and atapi<\/em>, referencing the Buddha’s discourses from the Anguttara Nikaya<\/em><\/a>; her teachers, particularly Urgyen Sangharakshita<\/a>; and Aesop’s fable of The North Wind and the Sun<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sangharakshita’s quote capturing mindfulness is helpful here: “We know what we’re doing, and we know why we are doing it, and how it relates to our overall purpose and spiritual direction.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Throughout, Vajradevi’s emphasis is on the mind’s “power” being in the continuity and flexibility of moments of awareness: knowing and recognising what is happening and what that’s like in experience.<\/p>\n The long meditation is then followed by some more input around “acceptance” in the mind when it’s free from desires and discontent with regard to the world of our senses, and flavoured with contentment and equanimity.<\/p>\n Throughout we hear helpful exchanges with attendees on their questions and what is coming up for them in the practice. And we close the session with another meditation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1106878693?share=copy#t=0″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#CC1618″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}”]<\/p>\n We start the session with some words from Vajradevi about ritual as a way of reverencing the Buddha Sakyamuni and how ritual is an integral and human aspect of life and practice. Vajradevi then outlines the evening’s dedication ceremony and Threefold Puja as outlined by Sangharakshita<\/a>. It is a simple and spacious ritual, in call and response (between Vajradevi and Vajrapriya) that is clearly infused with the spirit of mindfulness.<\/p>\n The opening extract from Analayo’s translation of the Sattipathana sutta<\/a> echoes the teachings from the afternoon: a reminder to remain mindful in the body, feelings, and mental events. We end the puja with the Sabe Satta Sukhi Hontu <\/em>mantra wishing all being well,<\/em> recorded in Rivendell in 2021. We’ree encouraged to light incense and circumambulate our own room to the mantra. Finally, we absorbe the fruits of practice with a 15-minute period of open meditation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Internal Section

to mindfulness, as awareness alone is not enough. After a short settling sit she anchors her approach in the Buddha’s core teachings of pratitya samupada<\/em><\/a> (‘dependent arising’ or ‘conditioned co-production’) and reflection on the ultimate illusion of holding to some kind of fixed self-view.<\/span><\/p>\n There’s plenty of space absorb the profound implications here, with a guided meditation and an open space for questions about practice from those on retreat.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1106935660?share=copy” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#CC1618″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”18px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_text_color_tablet=”#84B29D” link_text_color_phone=”#84B29D” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n This session begins with a short period of input from Vajradevi exploring the various perceptual concepts around time, space, location, colour and shape; how they function or are commonly perceived, and how we might go about ‘discombobulating’ this perception to help aid us in accessing a more direct experience.<\/p>\n We then settle into a 35-minute meditation exploring approaches to these sensory concepts, with time for question and answers.<\/p>\n In the second part of the session Vajradevi leads a short standing meditation focusing on sight and the difference between looking and seeing. To conclude, we sit allowing our mind to become aware of all sensory fields as a whole, observing our attention in relation to these aspects of experience. We close with participants invited to share their observations on the meditations with Vajradevi offering her responses.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1106937889?share=copy” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#CC1618″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”#84B29D” link_text_color_phone=”#84B29D” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Today’s practice closes with a Sevenfold Puja, including readings from a letter to Sangharakshita from Kamalashila, and from the Dhammapada<\/em>.<\/p>\n Vajradevi leads us with Jayamaitri kindly providing the responses.

The first involves placing awareness on the subtle sensations of fingers touching, whilst allowing awareness to open outwards, gradually building to an unanchored open awareness.<\/p>\n After another helpful Q&A session between Vajradevi and the attendees, we then have a guided meditation in a lying down posture.

The puja is largely read by Vajradevi with meditative pauses in which to absorb the clear and inspiring words of Zen Master Ryokan. This is followed by the beautiful and harmony-filled long Amitabha Mantra by Taraloka Community<\/a> to finish the day’s practice.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row

After this, Vajradevi talks about how we work with our thinking. She makes the point that we are not trying to make thoughts go away, but become aware of thinking, or aware of thinking. But we don\u2019t want to be taken away with thoughts. Vajradevi then leads a few exercises to help us work with our thoughts consciously and directly.<\/p>\n After the exercises, Vajradevi invites reflections from participants on the retreat. When we return from a break, Vajradevi leads another period of meditation, emphasising an awareness of our thoughts with kindness and interest.<\/p>\n Session concludes with a reading called “River of Perceptions” by Thich Nhat Hanh<\/span>, followed by another opportunity to share any reflections and ask questions.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1107349890?share=copy” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#CC1618″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”#84B29D” link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”20px” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}”]<\/p>\n The session begins with a 35-minute standing meditation, followed by Q&A.
