Internal, External, Eternal: Being Nature Together


  • Oakwood Retreat Center Selma, Indiana (map)

A Seven-Day Residential Retreat
led by Jon Aaron and Gullu Singh

As our meditation practice evolves, we start to see the nature of experience-- internally and externally and our true nature.  Within the Satipatthana Sutta, the refrain continually reminds us to observe phenomena this way.  As wisdom deepens, what is discovered in this investigation?  The sutta implies freedom will be known.

This retreat, held in Noble Silence, will offer an in-depth exploration of this teaching experientially within the Foundations of Mindfulness and beyond to teaching from the later traditions

Using your inherent wisdom, observe inwardly the mind
and body and outwardly the world. Completely understand both,
as you would look through a pane of glass: from the outside
seeing in and from the inside seeing out. Inwardly, there is no
body and mind, and, outwardly, there is no world. But, although
there is neither body nor mind nor world, the body and mind and the
world function in accord.
