After the success of our first course in August, which was attended by almost 30 students, we continue. 🙂 Same meditation method, same rules, same venue, different teacher: Phra Ofer Adi is originally from Israel and has been practicing meditation since 1989 (in Wat Ram Poeng and in Wat Chom Tong, Thailand) under Ajahn Tong.
Rather than trying to dismiss anger and self-judgement as “bad” or “wrong”, simply rename them as “painful”. This is the entry into self-compassion.

We don’t teach anything. We tell you how you can learn from yourself.

Distance proves a horse, time proves a person.

If you want a short cut to spiritual development, consider Russian roulette. The odds are better and the chance of suffering from a mistake is less.

Insight number zero: It is time to meditate, my mind is a mess.
