It helps us change the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us. On this course we teach two meditation techniques\, which consist of simple but effective practices drawn from the Buddhist tradition and were originally taught by the Buddha himself. They complement each other and can be learned by anyone\, and you don’t have to be a Buddhist to benefit from them! For more on meditation\, mindfulness and loving-kindness\, see our meditation page. \n \n \n \n \n \n Over the five weeks we will cover:Meditation & Mindfulness What is Meditation?Introduction to MindfulnessMeditation PostureThe Mindfulness of BreathingExploring Aspects of MindfulnessThe Development of Loving-KindnessWorking with the Mind: Distraction and AbsorptionTaking Meditation into the WorldMindfulness and Loving-Kindness off the CushionContinuing your Practice after the Course \n \n \n \n \n \n WhenStarts Wednesday 14th May 2025\, 6.30pm – 8.45pm | For 5 weeks WhereDublin Buddhist CentreUnit 5\, Liberty CornerJames Joyce StreetDublin\, D01 N5H6 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Maitrikaya first learnt to meditate over 30 years ago and first came along to the Dublin Buddhist Centre in 2004 to reconnect with his meditation practice and to explore something that was both Western and Buddhist. He was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2011. He is a regular teacher in the Centre and also organises many of our retreats. Becoming Mitra Convenor for men in Autumn 2022\, Maitrikaya is inspired by the friendship that welcomed and kept him coming back to the Dublin Buddhist Centre and ultimately resulted in him being ordained. His hope and vision is that he can inspire other men and set them off on the Buddhist Path. \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 works as a fundraiser for Future Dharma and 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: Anyone interested in learning how to practice Buddhist Meditation. No experience of meditation is necessary. If you have done some meditation before (as most people have) you will benefit from this thorough training in the art of meditation. \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 \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 Location: Meet at Drumcondra Library\n \n Address:\n \n\nMeet at Drumcondra Library\, Millmount Avenue\n \n \n Drumcondra\,\n\n Dublin\n\n D09 PT78\n\n Ireland\n\n\n\n\n + Google Map \n\n\n \n Phone:\n \n (01) 817 8933 \n \n\n\n \n View Venue Website \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 A Moment Out of Time - Sangha Day Retreat \n\n\n \n \n Meditate Effectively - Weekend Retreat \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n SEE ALL EVENTS
