Jason Siff will teach his approach to meditation which focuses on what
people actually experience when they meditate. He calls this
approach
Recollective Awareness Meditation, as it involves recollecting what
happens in one's meditation sittings. Based on early Buddhist
teachings,
it encourages gentleness, receptivity, and exploration of one's ownmeditative process.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and
experienced meditators.
Jason Siff was a Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka in the late 1980s where
he
studiedPali and taught meditation. In 1990 he left the monastic order and
returned
to Los
Angeles where he studied counseling psychology. Upon completion of
his
four-year
internship, he decided to devote his life to teaching meditation.
He
co-founded theSkillful Meditation Project and has been invited to teach at sanghas
in
America, Canada, and Australia. His novel, Seeking Nibbana in SriLanka, looks at the role of doubt and belief in the intersecting
lives of
Westernand Asian monks in a small jungle hermitage.

depth description of his innovative approach to
Buddhist meditation has just been published by Shambhala.
