Description:
Equanimity, or upekkha, is a highly valued quality in Buddhist teachings. It is a Divine Abode, a Factor of Enlightenment, and the precursor to the experience of awakening. But what is equanimity? How can we cultivate it? Even more, how can we access it in our daily life, especially in times like these with so much uncertainty, fear, and sadness for the suffering in the world?
Explore these contemplations in community during this daylong retreat, which will include meditation instructions, periods of silent sitting and walking meditation, and talks on the theme of developing equanimity both in our formal practice and off the cushion.
