All this can be done through Buddhist meditation practice. \nMeditation is a means of transforming the mind. It helps us change the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us. \nIn particular\, the Mindfulness of Breathing meditation is an excellent way to cultivate integration\, and the Development of Loving-Kindness meditation an excellent way of cultivating positive emotion. \nOn this retreat we will be exploring how we can engage more deeply with these two practices\, becoming more integrated and more emotionally positive\, and thereby how we can make the most of the precious opportunity to live a more truly human life. \n \n \n \n \n \n We asked previous retreat participants what the highlights were for them. They answered: Meeting others on the retreatThe meditationThe foodThe chance to reflect \n \n \n \n \n \n \n All dishes are vegan\, but don’t let that put you off. We’ve astounded by many omnivores on our retreats who admitted they had no idea vegan food could be so tasty and filling! Every meal is cooked from scratch\, and there is always enough for second helpings. No one ever goes hungry on our retreats. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The retreat is a brilliant way to deepen your meditation after the intro to meditation course. Restful and insightful. Highly recommended!   – Rick The most worthwhile thing I’ve done in a long time.   – Hugh If you want to get off the motorway of modern life for a while and park somewhere quiet to reflect and review the direction you are taking in your journey… A retreat with the Dublin Buddhist Centre can offer you a change of oil\, new spark plugs\, a cleaner windscreen\, tightened suspension and quite possibly update your Sat-nav so that you may finally know where you are going.   – Colin \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mucklagh is an aproximately 90 minute drive from Dublin City Centre.
