Paluma Retreat Calm Abiding Meditation & Teachings on Goddess Parnashavari
Calm Abiding Meditation is the most fundamental of all Buddhist meditation practices. Using the tool of mindfulness one learns to bring a sense of stability and clarity to the mind. An increase in emotional stability and decrease in mental confusion will help negotiate more helpful responses when confronted with life problems. Meditation is ultimately about experiencing the opening up of our heart and mind to compassion and to wisdom. In this years retreat lama Choedak Rinpoche will also be giving teaching on Healing Goddess Parnashavari. Meditation should be learnt properly from a good teacher and practice far away from noise and distraction until one has developed a solid discipline to do it in everyday life. The amazing benefits of meditation can help to understand how to live sanely and wisely without being adversely affected by the fast pace of the modern world. Being able to stay calm, focused and learn to use simple but profound techniques of meditation can change one’s life.
