Doing Nothing – Properly
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009Dathün is one of the foundational programs of Shambhala. And there is more than meets the eye to this month-long meditation intensive, which can be done in weekly segments. It is an ordinary experience, almost beyond ordinary, that can have a profound impact on your journey and give your mind the strength to handle these challenging times.
If you’re not familiar with the experience, its brilliance is demonstrated in its simplicity. You get up each morning, and you go to the shrine room and sit. You have a small break and then you sit again and again. No elaborate meditation techniques, no promises of rainbows, just you being with you. And somehow in the midst of what can seem like dreadful boredom, magic happens. Boredom is no longer a problem, the person breathing heavily in front is no longer a problem, and you are no longer a problem. You realize your own basic goodness on the spot and can finally smile for no reason.
Who knew doing nothing (properly) could be so life changing?
Because of the importance of Dathün to your spiritual journey, we offer it at the lowest cost possible. You can attend for as low as $55 per day, which includes your meals and lodging. For those wanting to experience the fullness, strength of mind and joy of intensive meditation, we invite you to make your practice a priority and join us.
