Just what does the phrase 'let go' mean? In the teachings this term is called Renunciation (nekkhama in Pali), one of the ten perfections, and is often understood as sacrifice, as something we should do because it's 'good for us.' However, the Buddha spoke of this quality as leading to true contentment and happiness.

During this day, which includes periods of silent sitting and walking meditation, we will explore the theme of how renunciation, or letting go, is related to joy. We will discuss:

-- letting go as simplicity and balance
-- letting go of our stories
-- learning to let go of the control we never had
-- generosity as the full flowering of letting go

Practices will be offered to work with letting go in our daily life. Suitable for new and experienced students.

Young Adults (18 - 26) are invited to attend this day for $25.
