I mai 2025 var DNBF på Venabu for fjerde gang, denne gangen med tidlig vår og nydelig vær til turer i fantastisk natur på fjellet. Undervisningen denne uken var fokusert på den trinnvise treningen, viktigheten av glede og lykke i meditasjon, meditasjon på kjærlig vennlighet, hindringene, samt dypere tema om kroppens bortgang/død, og det som skjer etter kroppens bortgang. Undervisningen ble oppfølgt med guidet meditasjon og mulighet for individuell veiledning.
Undervisningen
Undervisningen fra retreatet er nå publisert til vår podcast dnbf enigma, og du kan lytte til undervisningen på denne nettsiden eller i en podcast-app.
If meditation is your only method, then the result can be limited and meditation becomes difficult. Developing our mind is an integrated whole, focusing both on virtue, meditation and wisdom. It is the calm of meditation that can abandon craving. And when insights are developed, we understand and we can abandon delusion − we can see the truth.
One way of looking at the training is called the gradual training, which is a gradual refinement of wholesome happiness and freedom. It starts with the arising of an enlightened being which can teach right view, then we adjust our lives with right intentions and simplicity, we develop virtue conduct, we restrain our senses and develop contentment and mindfulness. And then, when the foundation is strong, then we can do our meditation, get into deep meditation and develop wisdom about our own nature.

Her er noen av de guidede meditasjonene:
Letting be meditation is really simple, and works wonders on an active mind. Starting focusing on the body, then being mindful of our inner world – doing absolutely nothing, just being an observer.

Illustrasjoner
Her er noen av illustrasjonene vi brukte til undervisningen:

AN 10.2 Will
Meditators, when one is virtuous one does not need to will “Let me be free from regret”. It is natural that one who is virtuous becomes free from regret.
When one is free from regret one does not need to will “Let me be happy (pāmujja)”. It is natural that one who is free from regret becomes happy.
When one is happy one does not need to will “Let me be joyful (pīti)”. It is natural that one who is happy becomes joyful.
When one is joyful one does not need to will “Let me be tranquil (passaddhi)”. It is natural that one who is joyful becomes tranquil.
When one is tranquil one does not need to will “Let me feel mental pleasure (sukha)”. It is natural that one who is tranquil experiences mental pleasure.
When one experiences mental pleasure one does not need to will “Let me enter jhāna”. It is natural that one who experiences mental pleasure enters jhāna. (sukhino cittaṃ samādhiyati)
When one has experienced jhāna one does not need to will “Let me see things as they really are”. It is natural that one who has experienced jhāna will see things as they truly are.
