Rob Nairn is one of the world pioneers in presenting Buddhist philosopy and practice in a way that is accessible to the Western mind. In 1980 he resigned as Professor of Criminology at the University of Cape Town to commit full-time to the spiritual path. His training in psychology and Buddhism – including a 4 year enclosed retreat at Samye Ling – enables him to translate Eastern wisdom into concepts we can understand and apply to our daily lives. He is the author of several books including ‘Living, Dreaming, Dying‘, ‘Diamond Mind‘ and ‘Tranquil Mind‘. He has also developed a secular training in Mindfulness which includes teachings in Western psychological language that provide a context for understanding what is happening in our minds as we practice and for working with obstacles as they arise.

During his long-awaited visit to Dublin, Rob will give a series of talks on Compassion and Insight.

“It all comes down to our moment by moment perception of what arises as to whether we suffer or wake up and become free” Through insight training we learn to deepen our understanding by exploring the roots of our experience and what drives us, exploring the different levels of mind and how to gain access to the ‘subliminal level’, since this is where the conditioned reflexes that drive our reactions are located.
