Teachings
Residential Retreats
The retreat program provides an integrated and supportive environment for optimizing insight that leads to awakening as taught by the Buddha. Eight precepts comprising a code of conduct and mindful silence are maintained throughout the course with emphasis on lightheartedness. One-on-one daily interviews offer individualized guidance and detailed instruction in of tranquil wisdom insight meditation.
Online Retreats
The program and goal of this online retreat is the same as a residential retreat but takes place in a private and personal space. The program is designed to maximize results with the guidance of Delson Armstrong (Dhammacariya Sobhana).
Symposiums
The symposiums will incorporate two daily group meditation sessions with an emphasis on study groups and discussion. Sessions will focus on the functional aspects and direct experience of Dependent Origination along with the interrelationship of various links. Sessions will examine causal relationships within the links and colorations with the Four Noble Truths, the aggregates, the foundations of mindfulness, and other aspects of dhamma.
Complete Series
The 12 Links of Dependent Orignation
The purpose of this book is to help the earnest seeker to understand the concept of, and the links of Dependent Origination. This is the most important idea to be understood on the journey to Nibbāna.
The Buddha used the term paṭicca samuppāda, which is Pāli for dependent origination. When one understands Dependent Origination one understands himself/herself and the world. It is truly the answer to the question of “Who am I?”
Dana
These five are a person of integrity's gifts. Which five?
A person of integrity gives a gift with a sense of conviction.
A person of integrity gives a gift attentively.
A person of integrity gives a gift in season.
A person of integrity gives a gift with an empathetic heart.
A person of integrity gives a gift without adversely affecting himself or others.
These are the five rewards of generosity:
1) One is dear and appealing to people at large,
2) one is admired by good people,
3) one's good name is spread about,
4) one does not stray from the rightful duties of the householder, and
5) with the break-up of the body at death, one reappears in a good destination, in the heavenly worlds.
So when the world is on fire
with aging and death, one should salvage one’s wealth by giving: what’s given is well salvaged.What’s given bears fruit as pleasure. What isn’t given does not: thieves take it away, or kings; it gets burnt by fire or lost..”

What Readers Are Saying
This well written book shows step-by-step how to achieve what the Buddha intended with his teachings, using the suttas from the early teachings. That is, how to properly meditate and experience jhana in relatively short order.

Buddhism Presented With Clarity
This book is a gem. It’s structured in the form of a 7 day retreat, with each chapter dedicated to a specific day, with suttas and daily reflections included. However, you don’t need to read it while being on retreat, I read it during daily life.
