Retreat: Sponsored by the Des Moines Meditation Group,
this half-day silent meditation retreat is open to new and experienced
meditators. It includes instructions for sitting, walking, and lovingkindness
meditations, and a talk. Charlie Day
will lead the lovingkindness meditation.
Bring a cushion, mat, or
meditation bench if you have them. Chairs and a few floor cushions are
available. Wear comfortable clothes. Please do not wear scented lotions or
perfumes because some persons may be allergic.
No Cost: Teachers do not charge
for leading retreats because they regard Buddha’s teachings as priceless.
Instead they gratefully appreciate donations or Dana, the Pali word
for gift-giving, as a way for you to express your generosity and help support
the continuation of the teachings.
No need to register: Just show up, but please attend only if you
can be present from the beginning of the retreat at 8 am to the end at noon
in order to preserve the integrity and continuity of the group experience.
