SUMMARY:Satipatthana, the Direct Path to Realisation with Bonni Ross
DESCRIPTION:Satipatthana, the Direct Path to Realisation\nStudy and Retreat with Bonni Ross and the dharmasphere collective\nSaturday April 16 to Saturday April 30, 2022\nThis retreat is now FULL. Please contact the Course Manager to go on a Waiting List.\nIn Buddhadharma, the most basic teachings are often the most profound. This is very different from our western conditioning where “kindergarten” stuff is lesser. “Beginners mind” is going beyond expectations and preconceived ideas to experience directly, with an open mind and fresh, unburdened senses. This is the basis for realisation: things as they really are.\nThis teaching, declared by Sakyamuni Buddha as the direct path of liberation, will be introduced by Bonni in the first week in a clear overview — beginning with concepts, combined with meditation practice — of the 14 subjects of exploration that are outlined in the Satipatthana and Mahasatipatthana Suttas.\nIn the second week, the dharmasphere collective will hold the space for continued practice and sharing.\nSome prior disciplined retreat experience with anapanasati is a pre-requisite for attending. Good physical and mental health are necessary. Preference will be given to those committing to the full two week period.\nCosts\nThese costs include accommodation in a single room, food and a resource fee. They do not include Dana for Bonni or for our cook, Juliana.\nHuts and rooms\nMembers $1019\nNon members $ 1159\nCamping\nMembers $767\nNon members $809\nAbout Dana\nThese priceless teachings can’t be quantified in monetary terms. Liberation teachings have always been given freely by Bonni.\nAn offering can be made to the teacher, traditionally at the beginning, and is a profound practice in itself. Giving can help us open; and through an open-hearted state of receptivity, we can find ourselves more able to receive.\nGiving as generously as you can enables Bonni to continue sharing the precious Buddhadharma for the benefit of all.\nAbout Bonni Ross\nBonni Ross has taught extensively at the Wangapeka over the last 30 years and is a deeply respected ‘Centre Elder ‘. She guides individuals in developing focused and skillful meditation and leads retreats for depth unfoldment.\nBonni began exploring the teachings of liberation in the early sixties. In the mid 70’s she met her principal teacher, Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche, whose direct, eclectic teaching and example are central to her life. Bonni teaches from a deep wealth of meditative experience. She communicates with sensitivity, creativity and humour in a way that resonates with each individual present.\nBonni is one of the founders of the dharmasphere collective and one of the visionaries behind the innovative project ‘2020 A Year of Clear Vision’.\nShe is inspired by ‘ordinary’ people who demonstrate exceptional courage and compassion in the midst of great suffering. Somewhat unexpectedly, Bonni now finds herself living in Nelson, and is currently deeply engaged in studying Maoritanga.\nRegistration\nThis will be a predominantly silent retreat and limited to 20 participants.\nFor further information, contact Jane Hobday: jane.hobday17@gmail.com\nPlease be aware that the Wangapeka Board of Trustees has re-examined its COVID-19 response in the light of the new traffic light system. This addresses the number of people whom we can accommodate safely in the event of cases emerging in our local community and at Wangapeka, and methods for ensuring the maximum degree of safety for all.
