9-Day Sutta and Meditation Retreat with Ajahn Brahmali (February 15 – 23, 2020)
Thus I have heard… Ajahn Brahmali is well regarded as an authority on the Buddhist suttas. Hence, I kick-started this year as a participant of this. Sutta Retreat I (February 15-17) touched on the 1st Noble Truth (The Truth of Suffering). The meditation retreat (February 18-20) had both self-practice, guided meditation as well as the sutta study of the 4th Noble Truth (The Path to the Cessation of Suffering). Sutta Retreat II (February 21-23) touched on the 2nd and 3rd Noble Truths which deal with The Origin of Suffering and The Cessation of Suffering.
