 New Spiritual Care Center in Ireland
A Spiritual Care Center has been built at the Dzogchen Beara Retreat Center in Ireland.
The new centre will serve people from all walks of life and religious orientations. It will be a refuge, a home from home, where those who are sick or facing death may stay with their families, receiving the best in physical, emotional and spiritual care. Visit website... (launches in new window) |

The aim of the Spiritual Care Program is to demonstrate practical
ways in which the compassion and wisdom of the Buddhist teachings
can help those facing illness or death, their families, and medical
caregivers. Based on the teachings of Sogyal
Rinpoche and The Tibetan Book of
Living and Dying, together with insights drawn from hospice experience,
we offer an integrated approach for people from diverse cultural and
religious backgrounds. Read more...
