Mindfulness of Breathing (4 week online series with Padraig Cotter)

4 online sessions based on the Buddha’s discourse on Mindfulness of Breathing (Ānāpānasati Sutta).
4 Sunday evenings: 3rd, 10th, 24th November and 1st of December
6 – 7.30 p.m. Irish Time The sessions will take place via Zoom.
Each session will feature an exploration of the Buddha’s teachings on mindfulness of breathing – the Ānāpānasati Sutta.  The Ānāpānasati Sutta is one of the core texts of the early Buddhist tradition and features precise and accessible meditation instructions that carry great potential. It is a portable practice that can provide much sustenance in daily life. It includes recommendations on the mutually supporting aspects of calm-abiding  (samādhi) and insight meditation (vipassana). The sessions are suitable for beginners and more experienced practitioners alike.
These are drop-in sessions. One can attend any or all of the sessions.  No need to book. Sessions are offered on a donation basis. ZOOM LINK AND MORE INFORMATION HERE
