22.01.2022 Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Online Saturday, September 26 - Sunday, September 27 Softening the Heart, Awakening the Mind Bodhicitta, the mindset of awakening, has two aspects. With the practice of relative bodhicitta, we soften our hearts; with the practice of absolute bodhicitta, we awaken our minds. Relative bodhicitta begins with contemplating the four immeasurable qualities: equanimity, loving-kindness, compassion, and sympathetic joy. From here, we naturally develop the aspiration to devote our lives to attaining enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. This supreme aspiration serves as our foundation for all our dharma practice, culminating in absolute bodhicitta, in which we gain insight into the true nature of our mind and phenomena. https://www.rigpa.org/up/dzigar-kongtrul-rinpoche-rigpa2020

22.01.2022 For the Benefit of All Beings How do you open your heart? Is it through witnessing suffering and feeling impelled to action? Is it through being touched by the kindness and love of others? Is it through finding ease and well-being in your true nature? Or is it an unanswered question? Over a thousand years ago a follower of the Buddhas teaching, an Indian man called Shantideva composed a text documenting his journey to opening the heart and freeing the minda personal reflect...ion on how to grow compassion and understanding in order to act in the world for the sake of others. This manual for wisdom and compassion, called the Bodhicharyavatara, is an invitation for us to unlock our own limitless potential and so become a master of ourselves and a servant of the worlda Bodhisattva. Our monthly course, For the Benefit of All Beings, will continue to study and practice Shatidevas advice based on the Bodhicharyavatara. https://www.rigpa.org.au/centres/ Contact your local centre for details.

Every session is suitable for all levels. You can sit on a chair or on a cushion on the floor, wherever you are comfortable and there are no difficult postures or complicated techniques.... Once an old woman came to Buddha and asked him how to meditate.

04.01.2022 Join Rigpa Shedra 2021 For the first time ever the Rigpa Shedra will be held online, opening vast new possibilities! Are you aged 18-96? Want the chance to ser...iously engage with the teachings, but never found the right opportunity? Can’t afford to be away from home for months? Imagine being able to immerse yourself in the Dharma for three wonderful months, starting January 2021. For the first time, Rigpa’s study college ‘Shedra East’ will be offered online to students all over the world, and we want you to be one of those students. Jigme Kyentse Rinpoche says In order to practice the teachings, we need to know what they are. We need to understand them as clearly and as accurately as possible. We need to be certain of their truth we must be ready to make the effort to understand the teachings for ourselves, as best we can, following the logical arguments set forth in the great texts, so that in the end we too will arrive at a state of irreversible conviction and will be able to follow the path with unshakable confidence. If you have enthusiasm, space and time to immerse yourself for 3 months in the teachings and begin to achieve this unshakable confidence for yourself, here is your opportunity. Become a Shedra student in 2021. At Shedra, 2021, you will study Longchenpa’s Semnyi Ngalso Finding Rest in the Nature of Mind. This text is the basis for The Words of My Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche and the Yönten Dzö by Jigme Lingpa, two texts that are frequently referenced and used in Rigpa. Your teacher will be Khenpo Tashi Tseten, a brilliant young khenpo who studied at Namdroling Monastery in southern India, and who was personally chosen by Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche to teach us. Khenpo Tashi Tseten teaches in a very enthusiastic and accessible manner, always working to ensure that studying the texts are a means for transformation, not just for an accumulation of knowledge.

03.01.2022 The key message of Buddhas teachings is both empowering and optimistic: that if we turn within, and deeply come to know our own mind, we will discover a kindness, compassion, and fully awakened state that are naturally ours. And through this simple, seemingly insignificant, yet revolutionary shift in orientation we will come to discover our tremendous capacity to benefit ourselves and our world. https://www.rigpabrisbane.org/ Understanding your mind - Understanding your worl...d : The wisdom of insight meditation Rigpa Brisbane 10 week course starting Wednesday 7 October.
