The Buddha spoke frequently about Jhāna and its importance as a foundation for the development of insight. However, often descriptions of Jhāna make it seem mysterious or unreachable. During this retreat, Bhante Suddhāso will guide us through an understanding of what Jhāna is and practical methods for reaching it; and how to use Jhāna as a basis for developing a direct experience of the impermanent, insubstantial nature of all phenomena
