Spring 2006 Pa Auk Sayadaw Retreat

2 months at IMS in Barre
Home

The Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw, from the Pa Auk Tawya Forest Monastery in Mawlamying, Myanmar, will lead a 2-month meditation retreat at the Forest Refuge in Barre, Massachusetts (USA) May 1 to June 30, 2006.

The retreat will focus on the development of strong concentration (jhanas) as the foundation for the powerful Vipassana practice that Sayadaw teaches when the meditator is sufficiently concentrated.

The forest Refuge is currently accepting applications. For more information or to obtain an application
go to the Insight Meditation Society, where you will find the link to Forest Refuge. You can apply online or download an application.

There are limited spaces available for the retreat, about 30 spots. We have heard that there will be a lottery held in August 2005 for this retreat but have not confirmed this.
