Léacht le Christy Whiteside
"The Buddhist Approach to Death and Dying". Drawing on the ancient wisdom
of Tibetan Buddhism, we will look at the great mystery of death and the lessons
that it teaches us for life. Seeing life and death as parts of a single process
this approach reveals both the hope and oppurtunity there is in death.
Christine Whiteside first met Sogyal Rinpoche in Dublin in 1978,
shortly after moving to Ireland. Since that time she has practised meditation
and studied Buddhist teachings with Sogyal Rinpoche and other eminent Tibetan
masters.

Mediation Workshop
le Christine Whiteside - "Bringing The Mind Home" In the stillness and
silence of mediation we bring our mind home, returning to our deep inner
nature. In this workshop we will introduce the attitude, posture and methods of
mediation. There will be time to get a taste of the practise and opportunity
for questions and discussion.
Christine Whiteside moved to
the Beara Peninsula, West Cork in 1986 to assist in establishing the retreat
center that is now known as Dzogchen Beara. She has worked as a Rigpa
instructor for the last sisteen years, and offers courses at Dzogchen Beara and
throughout Ireland on meditation and compassion practises, and topics relating
to spiritual care for the dying.

Lucernarium is the
liturgical vocal ensemble of the Irish World Music Centre, University of
Limerick. Under the direction of Dr. Helen Phelan, the ensemble is coordinated
in association with the Masters programme in Chant and Ritual Song.
It specialises in singing chant and liturgical choral music and
takes its name from the service of light called the "Lucernarium", which has
its roots in Judiac domestic liturgy and the lighting of the Sabbath light. The
Christian evening prayer of Vespers originated from this blessing of the
evening light.
