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.

Hosted By
RIGPA
Rigpa aims to present the Buddhist tradition of Tibet in a way that is both completely authentic, and as relevant as possible to the lives and needs of modern men and women.
Open to all schools and traditions of Buddhist wisdom, and with the guidance and gracious patronage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rigpa offers those following the Buddhist teachings a complete path of study and practice, along with the environment they need to experience the teachings fully.
At the same time, Rigpa seeks to explore how the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha’s teachings can benefit many different areas of life in today’s world.
“Rigpa is a Tibetan word, which in general means ‘intelligence’ or ‘awareness’. In Dzogchen, however, the highest teachings in the Buddhist tradition of Tibet, rigpa has a deeper connotation, ‘the innermost nature of the mind’. The whole of the teaching of Buddha is directed towards realizing this, our ultimate nature, the state of omniscience or enlightenment – a truth so universal, so primordial that it goes beyond all limits, and beyond even religion itself."
Sogyal Rinpoche
Inspired by the meaning of the word rigpa, Sogyal Rinpoche gave this as the name for his work and to the vehicle he was developing to serve the Buddha’s teaching in the West. Today, Rigpa has more than 130 centres in 41 countries around the world.
