Following last year's retreat in Thuringia, teachers from the Pa-Auk Tawya Meditation Centre in Myanmar return to Germany to guide a six-day meditation retreat near Berlin.
Sayadaw U Kumārābhivaṃsa will lead the practice step by step—from the foundations of the Dhamma to Samatha and Vipassanā meditation—and will meet with each meditator daily for individual guidance.
The day begins at 04:00 with the Three Refuges, the Eight Precepts, and chanting, followed by alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation throughout the morning and afternoon. Each afternoon includes time for an individual interview with the Teacher, and the day concludes with a Dhamma talk at 19:30.
The retreat is organized on a strictly non-profit basis. Accommodation and meals cost €400 per person for the six days: €250 for a space in a shared bungalow and €150 for vegetarian meals. The total goal of €12,000 covers the costs for all 30 participants.
The organizers deeply wish that no one with a sincere desire to practise is held back by financial limitations. Each contribution, whatever its size, is received with heartfelt gratitude.
On 7 November, a Kathina ceremony will take place at Thiền Lâm Tự in Ziegenrück, Thuringia. Please note that this is a separate event and is not part of the retreat or its budget.
For questions about the retreat, please write to paauk.retreat.europe@gmail.com or follow Pa-Auk Retreat Europe on Facebook.
May the merit of this offering be shared with all beings. 🙏
