DESCRIPTION:Life With Full Attention				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eight-Week Mindfulness Course				\n				\n				\n				\n									Starts Thursday 15th January 2026\, 7.30pm – 9.45pm 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Led by Vajrashura 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n					\n						\n				What will be explored?			\n		\n				\n						\n				What's covered on the 8 weeks			\n		\n				\n						\n				When and Where			\n		\n				\n						\n				The Course Leader			\n		\n				\n						\n				Who is this for			\n		\n				\n						\n				Booking Information			\n		\n					\n			\n				\n				\n				\n									We often feel like we’re not living life to the full. It’s as if instead of directly experiencing life we’re lost in a cacophony of thought\, anxiety and chaos. The Buddha’s mindfulness teachings are far more than a way of coping with the stress of the modern world. They are a direct way of seeing deeply into the truth of life and living from that. They are a way of living life fully and richly – a rich engagement of body\, heart\, and mind with life as it actually is. On this eight-week course you’ll learn\, in a step-by-step way\, how to practise the Buddha’s four fundamental dimensions of mindfulness\, as well as how to apply them to the life you’re actually living. It will be based around the highly regarded book Life with Full Attention: A Practical Course in Mindfulness by Maitreyabandhu\, and a copy is included as part of the course. As well as the course\, we are offering a free companion app for the course\, to help you in your practice of mindfulness. Each week has an introduction to the theme of the week\, a practical exercise\, a guided meditation and a poem. More details are here. 								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									Over the eight weeks we will cover: Week 1: Introductions\, exploring day-to-day mindfulness. Week 2: Mindfulness of the body and its Movements. Week 3: Mindfulness of vedanā / feeling-tone. Week 4: Mindfulness of citta – mind. Week 5: Mindfulness of dhammas – bringing the teaching to mind. Week 6: Mindfulness of art\, objects and nature. Week 7: Mindfulness of other people. Week 8: Mindfulness of Reality. 								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									WhenStarts Thursday 15th  January 2026\, 7.30pm – 9.45pm | For eight weeks WhereDublin Buddhist CentreUnit 5\, Liberty CornerJames Joyce StreetDublin\, D01 N5H6 								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n																\n															\n															\n				\n				\n				\n									Vajrashura started practicing yoga and learnt to meditate while in university doing a Masters in High Performance Computing. He firstly did these through university societies\, and then in the Dublin Buddhist Centre. He has worked as part of the Centre Team since 2002 and in 2007 he joined the Triratna Buddhist Order. Since ordination\, he’s been one of the DBC’s main teachers\, leading many courses\, retreats\, and events each year\, and is concerned with helping people go more deeply into meditation and Buddhism. He also is helping coordinate the new retreat centre project and looks after the DBC finances. 								\n				\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									This course is for anyone who wants to engage with a deeper understanding and practice of Buddhist mindfulness.
