In life, it is impossible for anyone to avoid mental and physical pain and suffering. From slight irritations and restlessness within our body and mind to the lived experience of chronic turmoil and torment. The reality is we cannot hide from pain, loss, sickness or death. It can’t be argued with. Despite its inevitability, our normal response is to recoil from pain. We fear it and reject it. Fearing pain is often our response as we don’t know how to deal with it.
Within Buddhism, there are many methods to manage and deal with pain. In fact, experienced practitioners welcome pain. They face it and discover meaning within it. Ultimately they transform it to develop deep spiritual insights and attainments, They use it to grow and become mentally stronger, not in spite of pain, but because of it.
You are welcome to join us after the talk for refreshments and a chat.

Kadampa Buddhism is a time-honored tradition that for centuries has made Buddha’s teachings and meditation practices available to people throughout the world.
Buddhism has a timeless and universal relevance, and can be practiced by anyone in any culture, regardless of race, gender, or age.
Through training in meditation and other Buddhist practices you can improve the quality of your life by developing inner peace, compassion, and wisdom.
Our tradition has coined the phrase Modern Buddhism based on a book of the same name by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, our founder and fully accomplished meditation master and internationally renowned teacher of Buddhism.
Modern Buddhism is perfectly suited for inspiring those seeking solutions within Buddhism to problems of everyday life, as well as for encouraging practitioners of all faiths to deepen their understanding and practice of the spiritual path.
Cork is a branch of Tara Buddhist Centre Dublin, one of 1100 centres within the New Kadampa Tradition. We’ve been providing classes in Dublin, Galway and Cork for 25 years.
