Bhante Jayasara, a Buddhist monk in the Theravada tradition, will be leading a retreat March 10th through the 12th at the Ecumenical Buddhist Society of Little Rock.

About the Retreat:
This retreat is intended to deepen the practice of the four brahma viharas: lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. During this vulnerable and destabilizing time in our inner and outer world, we are fortunate to be drawn to take refuge in the stabilizing and protective practices of the four brahma viharas. This event is organized by the Ecumenical Buddhist Society’s Theravada group.

There will be a Friday evening talk at 7:00 pm followed by two full day retreat sessions from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday.  The talk and retreat can be attended in person or online via Zoom. 

Cost:
This is a free retreat. While there is no cost to attend, donations in any amount are always welcome. Please help support the Ecumenical Buddhist Society of Little Rock and Bhante Jayasara. You can donate here: https://www.ebslr.org/donations
