Mindfulness of Breath (Shravasti) Meditation at DKC Escondido

  • Ven. Ani Chodron will teach an ancient Technique of Meditation developing Mindfulness of breath, based on Anapanasati Sutta, the origin of which comes from the Buddha. The practice of Mindfulness of breath is revived in the Drikung Kagyu Tradition thanks to efforts of His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang. This course will also include instructions and techniques of His Holiness given in the course of Sarasvati Meditation Retreat to his disciples, and in particular received by Ani Chodron in the teacher’s Sarasvati course she attended in Shravasti India with His Holiness in November 2023. The course also includes a set of Yoga postures and instructions comprised by His Holiness to help clear our channels and chakras, an integral part to achieving results in our mindfulness mediation and in our daily lives. More details are available on the DKC event calendar or DKC blog page.
