Annual Retreat with Howard Cohn
We are in the initial stage of planning our 2009 retreat. The retreat will be four days--Thursday afternoon, October 8, through lunch on Sunday, October 11.
We plan to hold this retreat at the Garchen Buddhist Institute, near Chino Valley, Arizona.
Please check back later for more information on this retreat. We are likely to begin registration in mid-July.
Our notions about happiness entrap us. We forget that they are just ideas. Our ideas of happiness can prevent us from actually being happy. We fail to see the opportunity for joy that is right in front of us when we are caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form.
--Thich Nhat Hanh, from Teachings on Love
About
our Sangha
Sangha is a word in Indian languages that can be translated
as community or association. Vipassana is a non-sectarian
practice that develops concentration, insight, and compassion.
Our primary activity is silent meditation that is
held on Tuesday evenings at 134 Garden Street in Prescott, Arizona.
