Tranquil wisdom insight meditation (TWIM) retreats are neither difficult nor a test of endurance, but rather, a joy-filled journey to awakening insight leading to true knowledge. TWIM is the combination of samatha and vipassana—tranquility and insight as described in the original dialogues of the Buddha. It is distinguished from dry insight--vipassana by the application of the four steps referred to as "Right Effort" in the Noble Eightfold Path as follows
Retreat leaders are renowned for their ability to guide people to experience awakening as taught by the Buddha. Every teacher is trained and tested for their competence and skill with years dedicated practice, apprenticeship, testing, and experience. A key to the success of leaders is one-on-one private interviews to optimize time and help participants to progress smoothy in the stages of awakening insight and the goal of experiencing nirvāṇa (nibbāna) for yourself. Retreats combine exposure to key concepts to better cultivate wise thinking based on the realities of existence as described in the earliest Buddhists texts. The course of training offers a supportive environment to optimize progress and maximize time. Eight precepts comprise a simple code of conduct that is maintained throughout the retreat. Mindful silence with an emphasis on ease and lightheartedness is encouraged at all times. |
