Day Retreat with Ajahn Achalo @ Wat Ananda

Happy Monday yall! Yesterday, we had a DOPE and grounding day filled with chanting, dana, and meditation.

Ajahn Achalo reminded us that true contentment has to be rooted in wisdom. We explored how loving kindness and mindfulness arenโ€™t retreat-only practices, but things to carry into everyday life.

Simple and practical ๐Ÿ™

Yesterdayโ€™s Discussion session explored the sense of self, how it functions in practice and how it can be held skillfully ๐ŸŒฑ. We reflected on a verse from the Dhammapada:

Never neglect what is good for yourself for the sake of another, however great. Knowing well what is good for yourself, be intent upon your heartโ€™s goal.๐Ÿงญ


Using this as a foundation, we discussed the idea of confident humility, a concept championed by psychologist Adam Grant, which balances confidence๐Ÿ”ฅ with competence๐Ÿ› ๏ธ.

The emphasis was on learning how to walk the path with self-respect, discernment, and humility without neglecting ourselves or others.

To bring more into life:
- join us this week for our in-person sitting practice
- sign up for a refreshing run!

We might have transitioned into the year of the horse, but weโ€™re not horsing around when it comes to our practice!

Some of us gathered at Buddha Dhamma Mandala Society yesterday for our in-person meditation session, and for many of us, the conditions made a peaceful sit possible.

Join us for our next meditation session online on next Wednesday! Poll and details will be published soon, on the weekend!
