10-day
Vipassana (Insight) Retreat
Led by Ven. U Vamsarakkhita
(Finished)
June
19th (Friday 5:30 PM) to 28th (Sunday 3:00 PM)
U Vamsarakkhita (U Vamsa) was drawn to Sayadaw U Janaka as a teacher
because of his clarity and knowledge of the Vinaya, Pali Canon and
teaching methods.
His
practice and understanding of the Buddha’s teachings grew
and improved dramatically under Sayadaw’s guidance.
As a teacher, U Vamsa is committed to convey the simple everyday
usefulness of Buddha’s teaching while inspiring those around
him to explore and experience the Path to Freedom that He so clearly
and elegantly lived.
U
Vamsa has traveled extensively throughout Asia, North America, and
Europe both as an assistant to Sayadaw and leader of his own retreats.
He spends Rains Retreat (Vassa, Pansa) guiding monks in meditation
at Dhammodaya Meditation Center (Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. This is
his fourth year teaching at Bodhi Tree.
