The Integration of Love and Wisdom

The spirit of this retreat will strengthen our ability to maintain a continuous quality of awareness not only in retreat, but also so that it can extend into our daily lives in a seamless way. We will be exploring the Four Foundations of Mindfulness with more emphasis on awareness of the qualities of mind. The teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya on Mindfulness of Mind will be integrated, and one of his books will be offered to each retreatant to read during the retreat as a support for practice. We will explore how we can more clearly uncover the wisdom in our minds by strengthening the loving kindness in our hearts. Equanimity practice will be offered as a way of integrating the love and wisdom aspects of our practice.
