Finding Peace: An Introduction to Meditation 
The Arcadia, Portrush
“The gift of learning to meditate is the greatest gift you can give yourself in this life. For it is only through meditation that you can undertake the journey to discover your true nature, and so find the stability and confidence you will need to live, and die, well.” | Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.
Rigpa Ireland is delighted to announce it's first ever Meditation Retreat in Northern Ireland. It will take place in the scenic town of Portrush on the spectacular Antrim coast. Open to those with some experience of meditation and those with absolutely none, it will be guided by two of Rigpa's most experienced facilitators.
We all want to be happy. But often the relentless pace and challenges of life make it impossible to know where to look for happiness. Through the wisdom of meditation, however, we can find peace and contentment. To our amazement, we discover a profound stillness that is always with us, beneath the turbulence of all our thoughts and emotions. When we allow our mind to settle, quietly, in its own natural peace, what happens is quite extraordinary.
This weekend is an opportunity to learn a simple method of meditation that is at the same time powerful and profound. It is a complete introduction to the practice of meditation based on the teachings of Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.
