SUMMARY:Silent Residential Vipassana Retreat
DESCRIPTION:With Charles and Patricia Genoud. \nThis residential retreat is dedicated to the intensive practice of meditation and will take place in silence. There will be no verbal contact with the other participants and no use of mobile phones. It is intended for beginners and people who want to deepen their practice. Sitting periods of meditation will alternate with walking meditation. Every day there will also be an hour of meditation in action. \nPatricia Genoud-Feldman has practiced and studied Buddhist meditation in Asia and the West since 1984. She has been teaching Vipassana practice since 1997 in Europe\, Israel and the USA. Patricia was trained at the Insight Meditation Society under the direction of Joseph Goldstein\, in Insight Dialogue with Gregory Kramer and in MBSR in Worcester -MA. \nCharles Genoud has been studying and practicing Tibetan Buddhism since 1970. He studied with the venerable Geshe Rabten for several years\, then with Dilgo Khyentse Rimpoche. He also attended the School of Dialectics in Dharamsala in 1975. He has also practiced Theravada Buddhism in Burma and the United States. Charles studied Sensory Awareness which greatly influenced his research on meditation in motion. He has developed an approach called “Gesture of Awareness”. He has been teaching Vipassana meditation since 1995. \nBoth Charles and Patricia are the co-founders of the Vimalakirti Meditation Centre in Geneva\, Switzerland \n\nPrices: Donation-based (Dana) program. \nAccording to the Theravada Buddhist tradition\, teachers do not ask for any fees. For their living\, they depend on donations offered freely by the participants at the end of the course. \nThe Dana or the practice of generosity is a key virtue in Buddhism\, a practice to be developed on the path to enlightenment. \n\nFees apply to accommodation and food \nRetreat held in French and/or English if necessary. \nEvent organized by Vimalakirti Center. \nRegister Now \n

When he was 14 years old he was admitted to Rigon Thupten Mindolling monastery\, where he spent twenty full years. In the beginning\, under the kind and inspiring guidance of H.E. Azin Rinpoche\, he practiced intensively for several periods\, finishing both the brief and extensive Ngondro of the Taksham tradition. Afterwards he participated in the pujas and drubchens held in the monastery\, being trained and serving for some years as a chöpon and then as an umze. In 2004 Lama Tenzin was sent to  Rigon Tashi Chöling monastery in Nepal\, to work as editor of the Ripa Arya Palo Edition Committee\, staying there until 2012. His most joyful and valuable time was when he worked as coordinator of the chöpon team during the Great Rinchen Terzö Empowerments\, bestowed by H.E. Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche in Orissa\, in 2009.
