Traversing the Void: Approaches to Sunyata
An Under-30 Seminar
Saturday 23rd November 2024, 10am – 1pm
Led by Prasannadeva
On this seminar we will be exploring the profound Buddhist philosophy of Śūnyatā, or Emptiness, central to Mahāyāna Buddhism. Śūnyatā challenges our perceptions of reality by revealing the the absence of inherent, independent existence, and opens us up the deepest mysteries of existence.
What exactly is Śūnyatā and what does it have to do with our Buddhist practice? On this seminar we will explore different ways to understand and approach reality itself in light of this mysterious teaching.

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.
All our Under-30 events are offered free of charge but you might consider making a donation to help us to continue to provide these kinds of events.
