During the period October 2009 through March 2010, Dharma teacher Fred Eppsteiner led a group of students in the study and practices of the Anapanasati Sutra, also known as the "Full Awareness of the Breath Sutra." Over the course of two four-day retreats, Fred provided commentary on the Sutra, as well as meditation instructions that focused on the Buddha's teachings for cultivating a clear, serene and insightful mind. In the second retreat, Fred also focused on teachings related to the Seven Factors of Enlightenment to help clarify the requisites needed for living an awakened life.
