City Retreat - The Fifth Paramita of Meditation

This event is in person and online, the Zoom link can be found at the bottom of the page

When we are fully ourselves, we see that our lives are fragile and that we can be tender with our fragile lives. When we are tender, our lives do not become less fragile. Rather, through our deep acceptance of life’s fragility, the door to an appropriate response opens. This is the door to the activity of wisdom. The fifth paramita dyana, meditation, invites us to trust in our self-existing wakefulness: we do not have to watch or check if it is happening, we simply trust our engagement with life as it is and an appropriate response arises.

John is a psychotherapist, a psychotherapy trainer on the faculty of Karuna Training and has been practicing, studying and teaching the dharma in the Shambhala tradition for 30 years.
