Online Class
sponsored by Buddistische Akademie Concentration & Insight May 7 19:00 The class will be held on Zoom. For the Zoom meeting code, please send an email or contact the Buddhistishe Akademie. As the Buddha tells us, there is no insight without concentration, and, just as importantly, there is no concentration with insight. In this talk we’ll discuss the often misunderstood relationship between concentration and insight. We’ll learn about how to apply insight in our efforts to develop concentration; and we learn how the Buddha’s concentration, known as jhana, enables us to develop liberating insight. The evening will include meditation, teaching, and discussion. All are welcome. *Please note the program will be taught in English. |
