We are delighted to inform you that the Venerable Aung San Sayadaw of the Mogok Vipassana tradition of Myanmar will come to Hong Kong to conduct an eight-day silent retreat from Sept 1-8.

-

Mogok’s tradition stresses the importance of intellectual understanding of the Buddha’s teaching, and establishing the right view before actual meditation practice. In the retreat, the core teachings of the Buddha’s teachings of five-aggregates, 18 elements, Four Noble Truth and the cycle of Dependent Origination will be taught, showing how through cause and effect, craving and desires keep us trapped in the rounds of becoming and suffering. Meditation is then developed based on this prior understanding. The meditation will be conducted in developing the stability of the mind through mindfulness of breathing during sitting meditation; body scan during standing meditation and walking meditation. When the mind becomes stable, then Insight Meditation (Vipassana) will be practiced in the domain of bodily phenomena, feelings and mental activities.

-

This retreat offers an excellent opportunity for people who wish to combine learning Buddhist theory with practicing meditation. The retreat will be conducted in a traditional Buddhist way which includes prostration and chanting in addition to the meditation practice.
