She was ordained in 2016 and is current chair of the charity that runs the DBC\, as well as leading a study group and teaching classes. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Varabandhu first came through the doors of the Dublin Buddhist Centre in March 2012 to learn to meditate as a response to suffering. He soon found that regularly practicing meditation positively transformed his mind and his life and in 2014 he became a committed Buddhist. Seven years later he deepened that commitment by being ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order. Varabandhu has been leading meditation courses\, Buddhist study and retreats since 2021. He worked for two years as a fundraiser for Future Dharma and is now working as a court reporter. He volunteers his time to teach at the Dublin Buddhist Centre so that others can benefit in the same way he has. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Suitable for:  Open to anyone who has learnt the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Development of Loving Kindness with the DBC or any other Triratna Buddhist Centre. \n \n \n \n \n \n CostWe do tiered pricing\, depending on the circumstances. €150 waged€120 low-waged€90 unwaged€75 for under-25s \n \n \n \n \n \n A €50 deposit per person of this payment is non-refundable under all circumstances. If you wish to cancel or transfer a booking\, please notify us as soon as possible on info@dublinbuddhistcentre.org CancellationIf you wish to cancel your place seven days prior to the event starting\, a full refund minus the deposit will be offered.If cancellation occurs within seven days of the event starting no refund will be available.TransfersIt may be possible to transfer your place to another event if we are given sufficient notice (at least four days before the event is due to start) and there are places available on the alternative event.If the event you wish to transfer to costs more than your original booking you will need to pay the difference at the time of transferring in order to secure your place.We will refund the difference if the event you wish to transfer to costs less than the original booking.We will only transfer a booking once and no transfer will be possible once an event has started. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Now \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dublin Buddhist Centre\n \n Address:\n \n\nUnit 5 Liberty Corner\n \n \n James Joyce Street\,\n\n Dublin\n\n D01 N5H6\n\n Ireland\n\n\n\n\n + Google Map \n\n\n \n Phone:\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Add to calendar \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Google Calendar\n\n \n iCalendar\n\n \n Outlook 365\n\n \n Outlook Live\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n The Foundations of Buddhist Practice - Five Week Course \n\n\n \n \n Training the Mind in Compassion - Retreat for Women+ \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n SEE ALL EVENTS \n \n \n \n Book Now URL:https://dublinbuddhistcentre.org/events/welcome-back-for-khemagita/ LOCATION:Location: Meet at Drumcondra Library\, Meet at Drumcondra Library\, Millmount Avenue\, Drumcondra\, Dublin\, D09 PT78\, Ireland CATEGORIES:Events for Sangha Regulars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dublinbuddhistcentre.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2025-09-21st-Rejoicing-in-Merits-Fidelma-Farley.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
