We are delighted to inform you that our Friday sit on March the 8th will be led by an invited teacher, Ajahn Buddharakkhita.

We are delighted to welcome Ajahn Buddharakkhita back to IST. Ajahn has taught a number of retreats for IST in the past and we benefited from his teachings in many Fridays when he was staying in Dublin in 2016. He is a very experienced monk and meditation teacher. He has practiced extensively in lay life as well as a full-time yogi prior to first robing in 2006. He completed 5 years monastic training under Ajahn Brahm and has practiced many years under numerous Asian masters, Sayadaws U Pandita, U Kundala, U Tejaniya & Ven Dhammajiva. He is skillful in making the Buddha's teachings easy to understand, applicable in one's daily life and go straight to the heart. He has been teaching a range of samatha & vipassana meditations on numerous retreats in Australia, Singapore.
