Retreat programme

The course is focused on the practice of various tranquillity meditation methods (samatha). Apart from the basic techniques such as mindfulness of in- and out-breathing meditation (ānāpāna-sati), walking meditation (cankamana) and loving-kindness meditation (mettā-bhāvanā) the participants will acquaint themselves with the coloured discs (kasinā) and the element kasinā. The tranquillity meditation brings a temporary purification of the mind, it develops its faculties (indriyā) and, as a result, it prepares the mind for a better progress in insight meditation.
