Retreat Title: Heroic Spirits
Led by Appicha
The Ratnagunasamchayagatha declares, “Call forth as much as you can of love, of respect and of faith! Remove the obstructing defilements and clear away all your taints! Listen to the Perfect Wisdom of the gentle Buddhas, taught for the weal of the world, for heroic spirits intended!”
As our bodies and minds settle into their natural relaxed and receptive state (shamatha), by reflecting on liberating dharmic principles (vipashyana) we connect with the confidence beyond our confused thoughts or concepts: the liberating truth at the heart of the Perfection of Wisdom.
On this retreat we heroic spirits, following our system of practice from integration, positive emotion, spiritual death and rebirth, will connect to the confident open dimension at the heart of our being.
The Heart Sutra is the best known of the Perfection of Wisdom sutras and asks us to open to that which is beyond conceptual thought; “Form is only emptiness, emptiness only form”.
