The practice of Dharma Contemplation provides would-be readers of the suttas with an embodied, accessible doorway into this rich vein of wisdom.

This retreat is the third in a series of four retreats, seven Insight Dialogue teachers from around the world will guide an exploration into how the relational practice of Insight Dialogue, silent meditation, and the support of friends can help us develop greater awareness, wisdom, and compassion. 在這系列的四個禪修營中，來自世界各地的七位慧談老師，將引導我們探究：關係取向的慧談練習、止語禪修，以及同修的支持，如何幫助我們培養更深的覺察、智慧與慈悲。 Retreat 3: Finding Freedom through Insight 在善友的支持下，以洞见和智慧止息人際間的苦惱 Finding wisdom, insight, and release from relational suffering with the support of spiritual friends 当我们与他人相处时，如何保持内在的安定与开放？多数生命时光与他人共度，却常在生活忙碌中失去内在的和谐与连结。独处静修让我们重归内在的宁静，但重回人群时，这份安定往往轻易消散。 本次慧谈禅修营，将共同创造一个关系性的容器，探索支持开放连结的条件： 何者阻碍我们从关系苦中解脱？ 何者滋养彼此的真实相遇？ 我们将聚焦于「贪、嗔、痴」如何透过友谊模式限制连结，并藉由深化对「自我感」的洞见（佛陀「无我」教导），松动固着的身份认同，开启从关系性苦恼中解脱的道路，让善友（kalyāṇamitta）成为觉醒的道途。 How do we maintain a sense of stability and openness while in contact with others? Much of our life is with others, and it can be…

Growing Resilience and Relational Capacity Through careful and skillful practice, with the support of the Insight Dialogue guidelines, we will expand our relational capacities as awareness meets awareness. This is an empowering response to the alienation, cruelty, and disempowerment saturating our societies. In our fractured world, greater relational capacity offers us greater resilience and balance. This, along with silence, time in nature, and shared meditative inquiry, resource us to participate in the world as it is with enhanced compassion, equanimity, and radical relatedness.
