A Happiness That Does Not Die: A Silent Retreat on the Buddha’s Teachings on Nibbāna --With Bhante Joe
Arrival: 5pm Fri 20 Nov Departure: 5pm Sun 22 Nov Location: The Karuna Sanctuary, Saywell Rd, Katoomba, NSW Cost: A refundable deposit of $180 is required to secure your place.
Overview
The Buddha taught that our search for happiness is not the problem. The challenge is that the happiness we usually seek depends on conditions that are always changing. Through his own awakening, he discovered the possibility of a deeper freedom—a happiness that is lasting, reliable, and beyond the reach of aging, illness, and death.
This silent weekend retreat explores the Buddha’s teachings on Nibbāna—the complete ending of suffering and the highest happiness. Through meditation, Dhamma reflections, and noble silence, we will investigate the path of practice that leads to this freedom, developing the qualities of mind that bring suffering to an end.
Whether you're new to meditation or have an established practice, this retreat offers a supportive environment to deepen your practice and explore one of the Buddha’s most profound and transformative teachings.

We have introduced a refundable deposit system where retreatants who complete the course may choose to request for the deposit to be refunded to them or donate the deposit to cover the costs of the retreat. Those who cancel prior to the retreat commencing will lose their deposit, as we've had issues with no-shows to our retreats before, which costs us. Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs of the retreat and allow us to continue to offer free events to the public.
