On Sunday 19 November, 35 yogis and volunteers have just completed a 7-day Meditation Retreat with Ven. Sujiva at Wisdom Park. In this past week, yogis have been ardent in their efforts by observing noble silence and adhering to the hourly sitting and walking from the early hours in the morning until the late evening, to hone their mindfulness and see things as they really are.
Ven. Sujiva guided them through the daily interviews, offering his advice and encouragement to help them progress through the challenges. In the daily evening talks, he gave further instructions and cautionary advice to ensure that the yogis dispel any misconceptions or confusion.
We extend our appreciation to Ven. Sujiva for conducting this retreat for yogis to deepen their mental cultivation towards experiencing the truths of suffering, impermanence and non-self (dukkha, anicca and anatta) for themselves. May the yogis continue diligently on their path, and also heed Venerable’s advice to plan for their next retreat to further progress in meditation. Sadhu!
We are grateful to the organising team and volunteers for helping to make the retreat a success.
