The Irish Sangha Trust (IST) was established in 2011 to support and foster teaching and meditation practice in the Theravada Buddhist tradition in Ireland. The Irish Sangha Trust is non-profit Buddhist organization, entirely dependent on the generosity of the public for voluntary donations.
Our annual schedule includes regular workshops, retreats and meditation sittings. Events are open to everyone from beginners to experienced practitioners. We welcome you to join our spiritual friends network and experience the profound benefits of meditation practice.

Sunday School for Kids:
The Irish Sangha Trust has been invited to initiate a Buddhist Sunday School for children. The first class took place on Sun 14th Oct 2012, and will continue approx. every 2 weeks.
'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.
