WEEKEND RETREAT WITH LAMA TSERING PALDRON Glendalough Sanctuary, Co Wicklow, Ireland

NOVEMBER 15th - 17th 2024




Bodhicharya Ireland is delighted to announce a weekend retreat with Lama Tsering Paldron.

 at Glendalough Sanctuary, Brockagh, County Wicklow. The retreat will begin at 7.30pm on Friday, November 15th and will end at 1pm on Sunday the 17th


Lama Tsering Paldron was born in Lisbon, Portugal.  During the 1980s, she completed a traditional Tibetan Buddhist three year retreat at the Centre d'Etudes de Chanteloube, under the guidance of two great Masters, Dudjom Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. She continues to receive teachings from many lamas, including Ringu Tulku Rinpoche.


Many of you know Tsering from her previous visit to Dublin and from the Bodhicharya Summer School, which she has run for the past thirteen years. A popular and experienced teacher,  Tsering has travelled around the world for the past twenty-five years, giving regular courses, talks and meditation retreats. Her latest book, “Grow Your Own Happiness” will be the subject of our retreat.  Whether you are new to Buddhism or you are an experienced practitioner, this weekend will offer everyone practical steps towards cultivating a life of peace, contentment and authentic joy. Drawing on ancient teachings and contemporary practices, Tsering will teach us how to nurture gratitude, mindfulness and compassion while dealing with the overwhelming distractions and suffering of everyday life.
