Daylong Description: In a world that feels increasingly turbulent, where the collective field is filled with restlessness and urgency, it becomes a radical act of care to quiet the mind and turn inward. The Buddha taught that samādhi, a collected and unified mind, is both refuge and resource. Through the cultivation of tranquility and sustained attention, the heart learns to abide in a deep inner seclusion that is not about withdrawal from life, but a wise intimacy with it.
This daylong retreat will offer a space to nourish samatha (tranquility) and explore the practice of samādhi as a natural settling of the mind.
The day will include periods of seated and walking meditation, Dharma reflections, guided instructions, and opportunities for Q&A or discussion. While held mostly in noble silence, the retreat offers a deeply supportive container to cultivate calm, clarity, and inner refuge.
All are welcome, whether new or experienced in meditation. Come prepared to let the world fall away, if only for a day, and rediscover the stillness that was never really absent.
Dana: During the daylong, there is an opportunity to offer financial donations to Gullu as part of the Buddhist practice of dana (the practice of giving and receiving). All offerings are gratefully received and support the continuation of the Buddha’s teachings.
