The Seven Factors of Awakening - an Online Course With Stephen Fulder

Meditation and spiritual practices lay the ground for a life of wisdom, a great heart and liberation. As we practice we develop qualities and powers which are themselves a huge benefit in our lives, but are also the gateways to awakening.  They create a radical shift in the way we view ourselves and the world. These are not passing experiences, but the potentials of a spiritually mature personality. The Seven Factors of Awakening are fundamental qualities in Buddhist teaching.

Here they are:

• Sati – Mindfulness. Attention, presence and awareness – the power to see things as they are.
• Dhammavicaya – Investigation/Inquiry  -  Seeing deeply and more subtly. What’s behind the story?
• Viriya – Energy – Energy, effort, vitality, determination
• Piti – Joy, Rapture – Joy and happiness, well-being
• Passadhi – Calm, Tranquillity  - Calm, quiet and serene mind and body
• Samadhi – Concentration -  Gathered, subtle, penetrating and concentrated mind
• Uppekha – Equanimity – Being undisturbed, unafraid, steady and flowing with circumstances

During the course we will explore, through talks, questions and answers, reading materials and guided meditations, each one of the factors, each of which opens to a profound world of discovery and practice.

Tovna organization is not supported by any body or institution. In most of its activities, it operates in the spirit of the ancient tradition of "Dana" (giving out of the generosity of the heart).

The activities take place thanks to the generosity of practitioners who support the association with financial donations, as well as thanks to the generosity of a large number of activists and volunteers who work without pay.

 

 

We are aware that we are in a period of economic uncertainty, and for us it is also a challenging period in this respect.

The payment of the participation fee supports Tovana to continue to exist even during this period and also supports the possibility of returning to offer retreats and courses in the same way as we have operated so far.

We choose to continue to offer the Dharma with an open heart out of trust and community responsibility.

 

For the course, we charge participation fees intended to cover course expenses (the costs of renting the platform and various organization expenses).

The participation fee must be paid in advance only.

We offer a price designed to connect the need to cover expenses with the spirit of Dana (generosity).

 

The price per participant is 265 NIS.

You are welcome to pay this amount or a higher amount, to help Insight continue to offer the courses and support those who are unable to pay.

 

Those who are unable to pay the full amount, please pay what you can afford.

We will make it clear that we are not interested in people not participating in the course due to a financial limitation.

 

The teaching in the course is given in the tradition of 'Dana' - the generosity of the heart: without a price set in advance in order to allow anyone who wishes to come and practice regardless of financial situation.

This is a community support in which each and every one gives according to his/her ability in order to help even those whose hand cannot reach at the same time.

At the same time, the community supports the teachers through Dana given at the end of the meeting.

Many teachers who teach in the "Tovana" courses dedicate their lives to spreading the Dharma out of generosity of heart and a good will to help others along the way.

The donations help them continue to maintain a lifestyle of deepening the path and share its fruits with the others.

At the end of each meeting, the participants are invited to generously support the teacher and continue teaching the Dharma in this way.
