Supporting Rigpa Athlone Meditation Centre

Welcome to Rigpa Athlone – The centre was established in 2003. We are situated in the heart of the Left Bank area of Athlone close to the River Shannon and Castle. We run a program of classes on meditation throughout the year. They are open to people of any ages and all walks of life.

With the current health advice we thought it would be wisest and safest to return to Zoom for our remaining classes to Xmas.

Weds 7pm to 8.15pm

Open to everyone, no experience necessary. Join us every Wednesday as we explore some of the life transforming practices of meditation, compassion and wisdom from the Buddhist tradition of Tibet. Each evening there will be meditation practice, contemplation and discussion as we look at some of the most important themes that influence our life and happiness.

Please contact Anthony for more details on how to join on 086 061 7701. You can also use the email address above.

There is a suggested donation of €8 per class or €6 per class for those on reduced income or else what ever you can afford.

The Eight Verses of Mind Training

This course will be now continued on Zoom (see above post)

The Eight Verses are one of the most loved and famous advices on mind training in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Written in the 11th century by Geshe Langri Tangpa it summarizes the entire path of compassion and wisdom in eight pithy verses.
