Liebe Dhammafreunde,
ich wollte euch gerne über ein 10-tägiges Retreat informieren, das im Januar in Holland stattfindet. Es wird unter Anleitung von Theravāda Mönchen sein, die aus dem Westen sind (Holländer, Argentinier und Deutscher), aber viele Jahre in Asien gelebt und in verschiedenen Traditionen gelernt haben.
Das Retreat wird auf Englisch sein, und man ist für 8 Tage (plus Ankunft- und Abfahrtstag) in einem dafür gemieteten Zentrum untergebracht. Für wen das relevant ist, sind hier ein paar Informationen, bzw. das Einladungsschreiben 
---- Heart Dhamma Retreat ---
The Netherlands, 2025
Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce that this January an eight-day retreat will take place in The Netherlands. It is out of compassion from the Monastic community that the teachings of the Buddha “The Dhamma” can be heard, practiced and realized in this retreat.
We kindly invite all those interested in learning, developing, and cultivating the pristine teachings of the Buddha: the trainings of Virtue, Concentration and Wisdom, that lead to the cessation of suffering. When one is sincere at heart, these teachings will aid practitioners to turn their attention inwards to learn and understand the mind-body phenomenon while coping with the ups and downs of day to day life. A humble invitation for introspection and self-reflection.
For the development and cultivation of mindfulness, concentration and wisdom, practitioners will be guided to train in the sitting and walking postures, and also while eating and attending to daily activities. Moreover, the practice of slowing down of one’s own movements will be taught as it is a valuable tool that increases attentiveness and alertness in observing oneself moment to moment. In this wholesome abiding, practitioners will be further encouraged to dedicate time for self-reflections regarding their practice and experience.
This retreat is made possible through kind and generous offerings from those who have benefited enormously from the Buddha’s teachings, who, with their faith, compassion and wholesome intent to serve, wish to share them with others. While the teachings from the Venerable Monks and accommodation are offered freely, participants will kindly be requested to cover part of the requisites for their stay regarding food and facilities for practice.
We welcome all with determined and sincere hearts to "Come and See” for themselves the Dhamma that leads to freedom, liberation, Nibbāna.
