“We are such stuff

As dreams are made on; and our little life

Is rounded with a sleep.”

William Shakespeare The Tempest

 

A weekend of teaching and meditation on our ways of seeing and relating to outer and inner realities.

 

In the age of fake news, misinformation and Ai, this is not so straightforward.

 

In a wilderness of mirrors. What will the spider do, 

Suspend its operations,…?”

T.S. Eliot.

 

According to the Buddhadharma, ‘the view’, how we see ourselves and the world, is crucial. It is the point where suffering begins and ends. Here we will pay particular attention to the view and way of being encompassed by the word Bodhicitta, a word that implies awakening intelligence and love.

 

Note this is not about dream interpretation or lucid dreaming. It concerns life, death and everything in between!

Dónal Creedon is a Buddhist meditation teacher with many years of experience, loved and deeply appreciated for his warmth, openness, and sincerity. He studied and practiced with Buddhist masters of the Kagyu practice lineage in Europe as well as in India and Nepal. This involved many years of intense retreat. Dónal also spent a number of years at the Krishnamurti Centre in Varanasi as resident Buddhist scholar. Thus the radical inquiry of Krishnamurti informs his approach.
