But what happens when we encounter obstacles along the way that hinder our progress? In his seminal and radical talk “Breaking Through Into Buddhahood”\, Sangharakshita presents a much more dynamic and even destructive approach to transformation than is sometimes associated with the Buddhist path. In this talk we are told that “sometimes we have just to break through\, with the help of a sort of charge of spiritual dynamite regardless of consequences — it can’t always be smooth\, it can’t always be easy\, it can’t always be gradual.” What would it be like to smash through your old habits of negativity to a mind dwelling in love\, compassion\, patience? Imagine breaking through all your psychological conditioning into complete freedom\, spontaneity and unlimited creativity! What about transcending your over-reliance on the rational mind opening up the imagination and meaning? And what would it be like to destroy the shackles that bind us to the tyranny of time\, exploding into an experience of the everlasting now? On this long weekend retreat we will  be exploring these questions through talks\, reflections\, meditations\, silence and friendship\, in the magical surroundings of the County Sligo. \n \n \n \n \n \n WhenFriday 18th – Monday 21st April 2025 WhereBru Moytura\, Corlisheen\, Riverstown\, Co. Sligo.Bru Moytura is a 100-foot wide wooden retreat centre in the foothills of rural Sligo. The ‘brugh’ stems from the Irish notion of a hosting place. The great circular hall is perfect for meditation\, ritual and discussion groups. A beautiful sunlit front room to the south west is the dining zone. Unique geothermal underfloor heating system means that the meditation/yoga-mats will never be cold! \n \n \n \n \n \n This retreat is for Sangha regulars and people who have a meditation practice of the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana meditation practices. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Prasannadeva \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Varabandhu \n \n \n \n \n \n The retreat will be led by Prasannadeva and Varabandhu. \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 walking meditationThe foodThe chance to reflect and be in nature \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 Bru Moytura is an aproximately 2.5 hour drive from Dublin City Centre.
