https://visitvortex.com/#The Art of Thinking presents advanced teachings on the nature of clear, effective thought, based upon the Buddhist mindfulness tradition and Indo-Tibetan cognitive studies, utilizing chapters from the Foundations of Buddhist Practice by the Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron. Within the context of the emerging Third Wave Mindfulness movement, in which the four foundations of mindful awareness provide context, we will explore the art of thinking in depth, examining the insights on gaining accurate, non-deceptive knowledge. Participants will walk away with knowledge of the Maha-satipatthana Sutta (Great Discourse on the Foci of Mindfulness), the four focuses of mindful awareness, and specific teachings on the nature of memory and mind. This retreat will emphasize dialogue and reflection, and application of the Buddhist Three-Fold Analysis will be practiced along with guided meditation.
