The Cardiff Tibetan Buddhist Centre hosts a retreat day on 8 November 2026 focusing on the psychology of Buddhism. The schedule includes prayers, meditation, and viewing sessions of a film by the late Prof Rob Nairn on the Four Noble Truths, interspersed with discussion and refreshments.
The Psychology of Buddhism was enjoyed so much on film night that people felt it would be beneficial to digest what we have learnt on a retreat. The retreat day will consist of meditation, followed by 30 minute sessions throughout the day watching The Psychology of Buddhism by the late Prof Rob Nairn who covers the Four Noble Truths. We will then break for refreshments and discuss what we have understood in each session. The retreat will follow this schedule: 10am : Buddhist prayers and meditation 10.30am: The Psychology of Buddhism Part 1 11am: Discussion and Refreshments 11.30am Buddhist prayers and meditation 12pm: The Psychology of Buddhism Part 2 12,30pm: Discussion and Refreshments 1pm: Lunch 2pm : Buddhist prayers and meditation 2,30pm The Psychology of Buddhism Part 3 3pm: Discussion and Refreshments 3.30pm Buddhist prayers and meditation 4pm: The Psychology of Buddhism Part 4 4,30pm: Discussion and Refreshments 5pm: Close Rob Nairn resigned as professor of criminology at the University of Cape Town in 1980 in order to follow his spiritual path. His training in Jungian psychology and Buddhism including a four year isolation retreat at the Samye Ling Tibetan centre in Scotland - enables him to transalte ancient Eastern wisdom into concepts we can understand and apply. Rob was an internationally sought after lecturer in Buddhism and meditation. There is no charge for the day but a donation bowl, also a poster with a QR code, will be around the centre if If you would like to help with running costs such as utility bills etc. You can also click on this link to make your own donation. https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/QYU8ZYPGCK98A At the moment the Tibetan cafe is closed so it may be a good idea to bring your own veggie lunch.
