Approaching Enlightenment
Book Launch with Bodhidasa
Friday 3rd January 2025, 7pm – 9.15pm
Led by Prasannadeva in conversation with Bodhidasa
Often overlooked in Buddhist practice, ritual holds a transformative power waiting to be explored. Bodhidasa combines insights from psychology, cultural studies, and personal experience to illuminate the liberatory potential of Buddhist ritual. With a focus on the Sevenfold Puja—or Seven-Limbed practice—the book delves into the deeper meanings behind ritual activities, symbols, and implements.
Join us for conversation with Bodhidasa who will be visiting Dublin all the way from Australia, as we explore this unique guide, designed not just to explain Buddhist ritual, but to invite readers into its practice, unlocking its profound potential.

Bodhidasa
Bodhidasa is an ordained member of the Triratna Buddhist Order based in Sydney. He is an educator at Pal Buddhist School, the first and only accredited Buddhist school in Australia, and teaches at the Sydney Buddhist Centre. Approaching Enlightenment is Bodhidasa’s first publication with Windhorse Publications.
Prasannadeva first came through the doors of the Dublin Buddhist Centre in 2012. He became a committed Buddhist in 2013 and was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2021.
Having studied Fine Art he was keen to find a context where his love of Western art, film and music was considered an important aspect of the spiritual life, regardless of whether it is an Eastern tradition or not, and felt right at home here. Prasannadeva has taught meditation courses with Trinity Meditation Society, has been involved with leading Young Buddhist events and is now leading Buddhism and meditation courses. He is currently working as Centre Manager.
