Awakening Through the Senses:
A Daylong Retreat with devon + nico hase
Sunday, May 26th
10 am to 4 pm central time
in person in Madison, WI
Buddhism can get pretty complicated. But what if we could break the teachings down into just a few words? And what if those few words were enough to find release--right here, right now?
This is the promise of the Bahiya Sutta, one of the shortest, most direct teachings in all the Early Buddhist canon. Often considered a precursor to the direct pointing of Mahamudra and Dzogchen, the pith instructions of the Bahiya Sutta offer a direct, experiential path to the nature of awakening.
🌳🌳🌳
In this one-day in-person retreat, devon + nico will delve into the practices of the Bahiya Sutta, with its emphasis on directly knowing experience--right here, right now.
The day will begin with an hour of conversation and an opening talk around the theme. We’ll then sit and walk for four hours in lightly guided practice, before reconvening for a closing talk and further dialogue.
