S6 Ep16: "A Week on Retreat" by Paul Harris

In this podcast, Paul introduces the four cankers of sensual desire, becoming, views and ignorance, describes how they corrupt meditation and gives tips on how to overcome them. He then discusses ways to prepare in order to make the most of a retreat and the effect it can have on our practice.

The House of Inner Tranquillity is a Buddhist Insight meditation centre located in south-west England. The centre was established in 1980 for those in search of a practical approach to the Buddha's teaching. Stripped of ritual and cultural accretions, the path is presented in a manner ideally suited to the needs of the modern westerner. Today, just as in the times of the Buddha, someone committed to truth can travel right to the end of the path and realise the goal of enlightenment. Countless talks on all aspects of the Buddha's teaching have been given at the Centre over the years. We have created these weekly podcast programmes as a way to make some of these talks available to a wider audience.
