Both of us have completed the Dhamma Surabhi 10 day silent meditation seminar in Merritt, BC.  This is a worthwhile experience which explores the Vipassana technique, a way of self-transformation, through self-observation. 

Each participant follows a prescribed code of discipline.  The course requires hard, serious work.  The next step is developing some mastery over the mind by fixing one’s attention on the natural reality of the breath.

By the fourth day the mind is calmer and more focused, better able to undertake the practice of Vipassana itself.

On the last full day participants learn the meditation of loving kindness in which the purity developed during the course is shared with all beings.
