TEMA RETRAGERII: From Mindfulness to the Four Sublime Abidings
The Sublime Abidings are four qualities or states of mind that we cultivate in and out of meditation practice. They are qualities of the heart, permeating our mindfulness and concentration practice.
These four sublime states are:
- Love or Loving-kindness (metta)
- Compassion (karuna)
- Sympathetic Joy (mudita)
- Equanimity (upekkha)
In Pali, the language of the Buddhist scriptures, these four are known under the name of Brahma-vihara, often translated as the ‘excellent’ or ‘sublime’ states of mind.
These four attitudes are said to be excellent or sublime because they offer a way of relating to others that leads to harmony and peace.
They are, in fact, the answer to all situations arising from social contact: they are the great removers of tension, the peace-makers, the great healers of wounds.
STRUCTURA RETRAGERII
In aceasta retragere vom alterna perioade de meditatie formala (insight-vipassana), meditatie in mers, body-energy work (chi kung, yoga), prelegeri (in engleza, cu traducere in romana doar daca va fi necesar) si sesiuni de Q&A .
