SUMMARY:*Daylong Retreat - Walt Opie - Cultivating the Seven Factors of Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating the Seven Factors of Awakening\nA One Day Retreat with visiting Teacher Walt Opie\nAccording to Ven. Analayo\, the seven awakening factors provide the conditions conducive to awakening. These factors require a sequential building up as well as a balancing in our meditation practice. And when we do this\, as Ven. Analayo says\, “Just as a river inclines and flows towards the ocean\, so the awakening factors incline towards Nibbana.” \nWe will spend this day of practice exploring these seven important factors in depth and looking at how they build upon each other sequentially. The first factor is mindfulness (sati)\, so we will examine how one firmly establishes mindfulness\, which the Buddha stated is always useful\, in every situation. \nWalt recently completed a retreat with Ven. Analayo and will offer lessons learned both on retreat and in further study of the teachings on the seven factors. There will be sitting and walking meditation periods with guided instructions\, along with dharma talks and time for questions and discussion. \nAll are welcome. Come for all day or for a portion of the day. Please bring your lunch. \nWALT OPIE was first introduced to insight meditation in 1993 at Spirit Rock and began attending regular residential retreats in 2005. He is a graduate of both the Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders’ (CDL4) training program and the Sati Center Buddhist Chaplaincy program. He has led sitting groups for people in recovery since 2011. Walt also serves as a volunteer chaplain with Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) at Solano state prison in Vacaville\, CA. In addition\, he is currently a trainee in the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) Teacher Training program based in Barre\, MA. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events.
