Through August 23. In this retreat we’ll look into some of the earliest surviving written records of Indian meditative systems: the Rig Veda, theUpanishads, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras—a collection of short verses that embody a highly sophisticated map of meditative experience. We’ll talk about what the Buddha learned from his first teachers, and how—based on this teaching—he eventually developed his own unique approach to meditation.
