All classes are led by students of Sogyal Rinpoche who have been trained as meditation instructors. They are open to everyone, from all walks of life and of any faith or none, and no previous experience of meditation is necessary. Fees are by donation, and the classes take place in the shrine room which has beautiful views out over the Atlantic ocean.
Occasionally classes may have to be cancelled due to retreats and other special events. If you are travelling especially to Dzogchen Beara to attend a class, we advise you ring beforehand to check.
Guided Meditation
Daily from 9.00am – 9.45am
In the stillness and silence of meditation, we glimpse and return to that deep inner nature that we have so long ago lost sight of amid the busyness and distraction of our minds. | Sogyal Rinpoche
During these 45 minute classes a basic introduction to Buddhist meditation is offered, covering posture, breath and simple awareness, based on teachings by Sogyal Rinpoche in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. They offer an opportunity to learn a simple method of meditation that is at the same time powerful and profound. It can be practiced by anyone at all, and is extremely effective for bringing inner strength, peace, compassion and understanding into our lives.
Guided Meditations are held in the main Shrine Room at Dzogchen Beara Retreat Centre.
Loving Kindness - An Introduction and Guided Practice
Monday to Friday 3pm – 4pm
These hour-long guided meditations offer a simple introduction to the practice of Loving Kindness. It is one of the timeless spiritual truths that we all have the potential to love fully and unconditionally. Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha taught the meditation for cultivating Loving Kindness through which we can develop an increasingly deep, pervasive and unconditional love that completely transcends our normal limitations. We start with cultivating a more healthy and loving relationship with ourselves and then extend this feeling out into all our relationships and ultimately to all beings.
Loving Kindness Meditations are held in the meditation room of Dechen Shying Spiritual Care Centre (3minutes walk from the Welcome Centre at Dzogchen Beara).
