SUMMARY:The Accepting Heart: a Silent Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:\nExperience a day retreat, meditation, and silent reflection in a peaceful environment. In silence, we engage with the meditation object in a more intimate way. We stop ‘chatting’ about Dharma from our mouth and start listening to the Dharma from deep within our heart which gives us a special inner experience of the teachings we receive.\n\n\n\nIn this retreat we will connect with our accepting heart to cultivate patient acceptance, a mind that can wholeheartedly welcome reality without the mental tension of wishing things were different. It is the conscious choice to stop fighting uncontrollable circumstances, which removes stress and allows natural happiness and courage to surface.\n\n\n\nWe will maintain silence throughout the day including lunch. In the third session of the day there will be time for some discussion.\n\n\n\nAbout the teacher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGen Kelsang Dorje is the resident teacher at the Kadampa Meditation Center Madison. As the resident teacher Gen Dorje is responsible for teaching and leading meditation classes, retreats, and workshops at the center and in branch locations. He has received extensive training under the guidance of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the founder of the New Kadampa Tradition. Gen Dorje is known for his warmth and humor in making Buddha’s teachings relevant to our modern life. He is an inspiring example of how to integrate these teachings into a joyful life and is committed to helping people improve their daily lives through meditation and mindfulness.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Details\n\n\n\nCost: $45 (non-member, includes lunch)$15 (member lunch, retreat free)\n
