The Stupid Way

I'll be holding a Zen meditation retreat at Tara House at the Jampa Ling Buddhist Centre near Bawnboy village in County Cavan over the weekend of August 1 to 2, 2015. The Jampa Ling Centre is situated in thirteen acres of beautiful meadow, woodland and gardens, on the borders of one of Cavan's many lovely lakes. It provides an ideal setting for a brief taste of Buddhist life.

The retreat will be held from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon. At the retreat we'll be practicing sitting and walking meditation, and will hold some talks and discussions on Buddhism as well as some periods of light work in the gardens and around the Centre. There will also be free time to relax or take a walk through the woodland and surrounding area. All meals during the retreat are suitable for vegetarians. The retreat is suitable for anyone interested in Buddhism and/or meditation, and beginners are welcome.

Dates: From Saturday, August 1 at 11.00 am. to Sunday, August 2 at 4 p.m.

Location: Tara House at the Jampa Ling Buddhist Centre in Bawnboy, County Cavan.

Cost: 65 euros. This covers the cost of accommodation and meals during the retreat.

Registration: Registration is by email. The closing date for registration is Monday July 27, 2015.

(Anyone participating in the retreat is welcome to stay at the Jampa Ling Centre on Sunday night, August 2 after the retreat finishes. An additional fee is required for the extra night's accommodation and can be paid directly to the Jampa Ling Centre.)
