Online: Audacity – Your Gateway to Freedom
with nico hase
Saturday, January 20th, 2024 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET
Is genuine awakening possible? For you? For me? In these times? In this life?
Twenty-six hundred years ago, in a time just as challenging as the one we live in today, the Buddha had a simple answer: yes, if we apply ourselves.
But that takes chutzpah, otherwise known as adhiṭṭhāna parami (“determination” or “audacity”), and there are ten thousand cultural forces hellbent on weakening our resolve, dispersing our attention, and convincing us that enlightenment isn’t even a thing.
We have to push back. Like the Buddha did all those years ago, when he had the audacity to take this path all the way to completion, to the very end of mental and emotional suffering.
In this one-day online retreat, nico will delve into adhitthana parami, that quality of the heart that simply doesn’t give up, that keeps you coming back to the path again and again. Which, with consistent practice, leads to the cultivation of peace, joy, and lasting happiness.
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.
