Skillful Views in Meditation
An Online, Daylong Retreat with visiting Senior Teacher Vance Pryor
At times we can develop views of meditation that hinder the development of wholesome qualities of heart. During this daylong, we will begin to examine some of the most common views that hinder the practice, while exploring skillful views which are invaluable on the path. All are welcome.
Tentative schedule: This daylong consists of three 1.5 hour sessions. First session from 8:30 to 10:00 AM. Second session from 10:30 to 12:00 PM. Third session from 1:30 to 3:00 PM.
VANCE PRYOR, PsyD, began insight meditation in 1998. He has been deeply influenced by the teachings of Sayadaw U Pandita and Sayadaw U Tejaniya. His training to become a teacher has been supported by the mentorship of Steve Armstrong and Kamala Masters. He is currently participating in IMS’s 2017-2021 Teacher Training Program.
The Teacher offers the teachings freely in the tradition of the Buddha, and her livelihood is completely sustained by the generosity of the communities she serves. Dana (donation) for these priceless teachings will be gratefully accepted by the teacher, giving participants the opportunity to freely engage in the practice of generosity, the first step toward freedom. You may donate for this event online using a credit card or PayPal account.
