From Dualism to Understanding: Retreat Led By Dharma Teacher Leslie Rawls
September 21-24, 2017
Southern Dharma Retreat Center
The Buddha taught that blaming, judging, and comparing minds always cause suffering. We experience this truth regularly through habitually judging ourselves and others in ways that separate us, strengthen ego, and blind us to the truth of Interbeing. In this retreat, we will explore and practice with Buddhist teachings to help us let go of dualistic and discriminative thinking and transform discrimination into understanding. Teachings and practice will focus on the Diamond Sutra. The retreat will offer formal and informal mindfulness meditation periods, daily Dharma talks by the teacher, private practice interviews, small group discussion, and personal practice time to enjoy the stillness and beauty of Southern Dharma. Suitable for beginners or experienced practitioners. Registration for this retreat opens May 1, 2017. Please join the wait list if you are interested. Leslie has shared that spots do tend to open up for wait list members.
Save the date for the 2018 Anh-Huong and Thu Nguyen retreat in Asheville: April 12-15, 2018
