- Willingness & time to practice 1.5 to 2 hours daily (can be spread over several sessions)
- Time every Sunday evening for a 30-minute online class (between 6:00–9:00 PM). You will be assigned a specific time slot.
- Willingness to observe the five Buddhist precepts during the daily retreat
- Abstention from killing or harming living beings,
- Abstention from taking what is not given (stealing),
- Abstention from sexual misconduct,
- Abstention from lying, harsh, or divisive speech
- abstaining from intoxicating and mind-altering substances, foods, and drinks (drugs and alcohol).
Participation is on a dana basis (donation).
Generally speaking, an everyday retreat requires a great deal of motivation and discipline to see through to the end. So you should ask yourself in advance whether you have both the time and a “firm resolve.”
For support and deeper practice, you can also (optionally) participate in the on-site meditation group on Wednesday evenings. There you can also ask questions.
You can start at any time. Please register for the course at philipvipassana@eclipso.de
