A Mind Without Craving
with Delson Armstrong
“The stream of Dhamma, the stream of Dhamma, it is said.
But Bhante, what is the stream of Dhamma?"
Sāriputta: ‘It is this Eight-Spoked Path of the Ariyas.’”
Ten-day online retreat
with Dhamma talk, interviews and live Q&A
About the Retreat
‘Mind without Craving’ is a retreat formulated for anyone desirous of taking their first step into the Dhamma, the Teaching of the Buddha, at its very root, as preserved in the original discourses of the Buddha (the Suttas).
This retreat is a progressive approach to what the Buddha called ‘Bhāvanā’ or Wholesome Mental Development. Cultivating the Higher Mind (Adhicitta) directly correlates to happiness here and now. Meditators will be guided on a journey to understand what the Buddha awoke to on his own path to happiness.
This means the threefold training in:
Sīla
(Virtue)
Samādhi
(Collected Mental Harmony )
Pañña
(Discernment)
