The Eight Verses on Training the Mind

Starting Wed Sept 22nd 7pm to 8.30pm

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.

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.

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 course teachers are volunteers and all donations go towards supporting the running of the centre.
