Penetrating the Veils ~ Exploring the Four Distortions of Perception (Vipallasa)

Seeing what is impermanent (aniccā) as permanent (niccā)
Seeing what is painful (dukkha) as pleasant (sukha)
Seeing what is without a self (anatta) as a self (atta)
Seeing what is not beautiful (asubha) as beautiful (subha)

All that we think about and project onto reality tends to be channelled through these misperceptions. We explore the Buddha's teachings about these views and the suffering they cause. Putting on the corrective lens of Dharma - imminent, curious and discerning - we contemplate the path to greater clarity, understanding and equanimity in our lived experience. This retreat is suitable for all.
