Rigpa: Bring the Mind Home

Rigpa is a community dedicated to awakening the vast potential of wisdom and compassion we all have, which is so often hidden by the distractions of everyday life.

Drawing its name from the Tibetan word ‘rigpa’—the ever-present, pristine awareness of the nature of mind—Rigpa offers a complete, authentic path of study and meditation leading to enlightenment, following the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Rigpa is open to anyone looking for more community, inspiration and inner strength in this uncertain and chaotic world.

What we offer

Meditate

Meditation is discovering a way of ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. Come to know our mind and its habits, and to work skilfully and kindly with emotions and more.

I’ve never experienced a community quite like Rigpa. The depth of care, commitment to seeing things through and clear communication amongst its members constantly astounds and inspires me. It’s as though pure sunshine illuminates every corner of Rigpa’s operations, making the experience of being part of this community one of great ease, connectedness and true belonging.

I want to express my deep gratitude to the course leaders for the quality of your teachings, interest, patience and open mindedness and for always clarifying our existential questions. I also benefted greatly also from the sincerity between students during the discussion groups.

I found the Rigpa retreat and the instructors excellent. I really appreciated their joyfulness, clarity, warmth and generosity. It has had a big impact on me and had a terrific impact on my daily meditation practice.

Through a friend I connected with Rigpa and found a wonderful community which quickly felt like “my people”. I really appreciate the incredibly well structured courses, particularly the Home Retreat, which gives me the confidence that I’m following a complete spiritual path, with the support of my teachers and friends. I feel so lucky to have found this community.

What I pappreciated most in this [beginners] course was the clarity of the teachers’ explanations, the absence of judgments and pressure, I feel good after listening to these teachings. Now I understand the meaning and the kindness from the Sangha.
