Insight Meditation and The Direct Path to Liberation
Will Kabat-Zinn, MA, Neesha Patel, PhD, and Victoria Cary
In this online, home retreat we will cultivate mindfulness of body, feeling tone, mind, and mind-objects while walking, standing, sitting, lying down, while talking with others, remaining silent, and attending to our home duties. Let’s see what happens when we give ourselves over wholeheartedly to the simple practice that the Buddha called, “The direct path for the purification of beings… for attainment of the true way, for the realization of Nibanna.”
