Steer to the Deep: The Essence of Zen
An Under-30 Event
Saturday 12th April 2025, 10.15am – 12.30pm
Led by Prasannadeva
“A special transmission outside of the scriptures.
No dependance on words and letters
A direct pointing to the mind of Humankind
Seeing into one’s own nature and realising Buddhahood”.
Zen is one of the most popular—and most misunderstood—forms of Buddhism.
In this event for those under 30, we’ll explore these profound statements attributed to the great Zen patriarch Bodhidharma. Through the insightful lectures of Sangharakshita from 1965, we’ll cut through common misconceptions and dive deep into the essence of Zen.

Prasannadeva first came through the doors of the Dublin Buddhist Centre in 2012. He became a committed Buddhist in 2013 and was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2021.
Having studied Fine Art he was keen to find a context where his love of Western art, film and music was considered an important aspect of the spiritual life, regardless of whether it is an Eastern tradition or not, and felt right at home here. Prasannadeva has taught meditation courses with Trinity Meditation Society, has been involved with leading Young Buddhist events and is now leading Buddhism and meditation courses. He is currently working as Centre Manager.
