Two Meditation Sessions
Culture Night at the DBC
Friday 18th September, 5.15pm – 6.15pm and 6.30pm – 7.30pm
Led by DBC Centre Team
As part of our Culture Night offerings at the Dublin Buddhist Centre we will offer two meditation taster sessions open to all to drop in.
5.15pm – 6.15pm: The Mindfulness of Breathing
Meditation is a means of transforming the mind and it can help us to better appreciate ourselves, other people, and the beauty of the world around us. Central to the practice of meditation is mindfulness. In this one hour workshop you will be briefly introduced to one of the fundamental Buddhist meditation practices of the Mindfulness of Breathing.
6.30pm – 7.30pm: The Metta Bhavana (Cultivation of Loving-Kindness)
Metta, or loving-kindness, is a core part of Buddhist meditation together with mindfulness. By cultivating Metta we can grow out of self-centredness and emotional negativity, and into being able to have harmonious and satisfying relationships with other people, as well as with ourselves. We will introduce the Metta Bhavana meditation practice in this one hour workshop, as a way of cultivating states of emotional positivity and freedom of heart and mind.
All are welcome to attend. Please note that spaces are limited and offered on a first come first served basis.
