Concentration and the Jhanas: A Primer for Deepening Practice
Saturday, March 7, 2020, Nashville Friends Meeting
9 a.m. – Noon, Led by Lisa Ernst

Right Concentration is the final leg of the Buddha’s eight fold path but it is frequently misunderstood. Concentration and mindfulness differ, although right mindfulness is a support for meditative concentration. Skillful concentration often leads to the jhanas, the eight altered states of consciousness that can deepen joy and improve your insight practice. In this half day retreat we will explore meditation through the lens of concentration and the jhanas as a path to awakening.

The morning will consist of instruction, meditation and discussion. This retreat is suitable for all levels of experience although an existing mediation practice is recommended.
