— 31. August bis 6. September
— mit Jack Petranker
Living in a world of increasing division and personal dissatisfaction, we are disconnected from our own experience. We mistakenly confuse the world of objective facts with the stories that shape our experience. We live a life ruled by habit and endless concerns. “Human beings through the centuries have counseled one another to be more loving, to cultivate virtue, to treat others as ends rather than means. Yet despite that good counsel, not much has changed. I see the task before us differently—not about changing who we are, but about seeing the world differently.”
The above quotes are from a new book by Jack Petranker, to be published by Dharma Publishing USA. We are fortunate that Jack agreed to lead a weeklong retreat based on this book in person in Winterswijk.
In this weeklong retreat, we learn to stop “making sense” of our lives and simply inhabit them. No longer forced to be the one in charge of experience, we can let go of negativity, self-judgment, and endless distractions. Through experiment, reflection, and dialogue, we can discover the beauty we are already living. We can be one with the world we are.
“People sometimes say you have to work at love, and that may be so. Yet it seems to me that it also goes in the other direction: love works on you. Head and chest and heart come together, and a special wholeness emerges.”
Jack Petranker is Director of Mangalam Research Center, and former Dean of the Tibetan Nyingma Institute in Berkeley. A direct student of Tarthang Tulku since 1980, Jack holds degrees from Stanford, Yale, and University of California, Berkeley. He is author of When It Rains, Does Space Get Wet? and the editor of many books in the TSK series.
