(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Reflections on the hindrances, and what engaging with that practice of mindfulness brings. A way to deconstruct the hindrances as a problem with suffering and appreciate the treasure that is possible.

DaRa Williams: Treasure in the hindrances.

IMS’s Retreat Center first opened its doors in 1976. It offers a yearly schedule of meditation courses, lasting from a weekend to three months. Most retreats are designed for both new and experienced meditators. Recognized insight meditation teachers from all over the world offer daily instruction and guidance in Buddhist meditations known as vipassana (insight) and metta (lovingkindness). While the context is the Buddha’s teachings, these practices are universal and help us to deepen awareness and compassion.
