Autumn Meditation Weekend for Beginners and Newcomers

9TH-12TH OF NOVEMBER 2017

We would like to kindly invite you for the autumn meditation weekend for beginners and newcomers, led by the Czech Buddhist nun Venerable bhikkhunī Visuddhi.

Beginning: on Thursday 9th of November, at 7PM, estimated end on Sunday 12th of November at 4PM

Place: ārāma Karuṇā Sevena, 1st Woman Buddhist ārāma in Czech Republic, Slezská 3,

796 01, Prostejov, Czech Republic, E.U.

INSTRUCTION FOR NEWCOMERS:

Arrival is on Thursday, ideally before 5PM. An accommodation is now possible for women and men in the neighboring house for practitioners (Viveka). Please, bring a sleeping bag, a bed sheet, a towel, slippers and items for personal hygiene. Take with you also enough warm clotse.

The Program starts with DHAMMATALK on Thursday at 7PM and by acceptance of the Eight Ethical Precepts. Noble Silence will be kept the entire weekend. The meditation instructions for satipaṭṭhāna a mettā practises will be given throughout the weekend. Advanced meditators are welcome to attend also, if depending on availability. Beginners and newcomers will be given a priority.

The Buddha´s Teaching is being passed as a gift (dhammadāna). Monastic life is, in the same way as in the time of Buddha, dependent on donations and a support of lay people. By your voluntary contribution, you will support the nunhood of Venerable bhikkhunī Visuddhi and the running of the ārāma Karuṇā Sevena in the Czech Republic.

Please, read and sign Terms and conditions of stay and Daily Programme and Schedule in ārāma Karunā Sevena. Only those meditators, who have attended at least one weekend class under guidance of Bhikkhunī Visuddhi, can later practice in seclusion in the ārāma. Please, follow the news on the web http://karunasevena.blogspot.com/

You can also ask for more information and book your place via email: karuna.sevena.cz@gmail.com. You will receive more instructions.

We are looking forward to see you in the Dhamma.
