Learn a creative, energizing, and inspiring meditation practice based on the traditional forms of a Buddhist stupa.
The stupa practice includes engaging with color, shape, energy, and the elements (earth, water, fire, air, space, consciousness). In it we use imagination, visualization, introspection and concentration. Many enjoy the use of symbol and the connection with energy in the practice. Benefits of the stupa practice are focus, self-awareness, integration of different energies within us, and a way to connect with the spirit of enlightenment.
We have decided to explore the stupa practice in honor of the newly dedicated stupa built at Aryaloka Buddhist Center. It is one of the core practices in the Triratna Buddhist Community.
Led by Dharmacharini Amala, who has been teaching meditation for 15 years within the Triratna community.

* At Aryaloka, we strive to make our programs available to everyone regardless of their financial circumstances. Our fee structure allows you to pay according to your means. The Sustaining price is for people comfortably paying their rent or mortgage, and who can afford the occasional meal out and movie. The Sustaining price level also helps Aryaloka offer lower prices to those who could otherwise not afford to attend. Any payment above this price is a tax-deductible donation. Mid-Level prices are for those who have a regular income and are paying their mortgage or rent. Prices at this level contribute to the range of Aryaloka’s operating costs. The Base-Level price is for those without an income or with an income low enough that making ends meet is a challenge. Those whose circumstances are not included above can call the office to arrange alternate pricing.
* Retreat participants are asked to work together to prepare and clean up after meals and to help with general cleanup at the end of the retreat.
