Insight Meditation Retreat

Sat 22nd June - Sun 23rd June

Ven U Dhammajiva - Nissarana Vanaya Monastery

Vipassana (Insight), which means to see things as they really are, is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterised by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace.

Time: Sat 22nd June : 1pm-6pm &  Sun 23rd June 9.30am-5pm

Lunch: We will share a vegetarian lunch at about 12 noon on the Sun 23rd June. Please bring some food to share if you wish to join in. 

Venue: Dublin 6, exact location to be confirmed.

Cost: One day: €20. Two days €30.

'Friends on the Path' Meditation Sits:

We at the Irish Sangha Trust  host regular meditation sits for "Friends on the Path", where you can get to know like-minded people and make spiritual friends on the path. These events provide an opportunity for both beginners and regular meditators to meet and share ideas and experience with each other. A sit involving a Dharma talk, discussion and guided meditation lasts about 2 hours, followed by a shared vegetarian lunch. Group meditation sits are very supportive and helpful in establishing and maintaining a regular meditation practice. Please sign up for our mailing list to be notified of upcoming meditation sits and other IST events.
