It helps us change the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us. Buddhist meditation techniques offer a way of encouraging and developing positive states of mind\, such as calmness\, clarity\, emotional positivity and a deeper seeing of the true nature of things. On this introductory day both the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Development of Loving Kindness meditations will be taught. It will be ideal as an introduction for those new to meditation\, or as a refreshing day retreat for those who’d like a boost to their practice. 								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									WhenSunday 10th November 2024\, 10am – 4.30pm WhereDublin Buddhist CentreUnit 5\, Liberty CornerJames Joyce StreetDublin\, D01 N5H6 								\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									We asked previous retreat participants what the highlights were for them.
