8 classes on Wednesday evenings 7:00 – 8:45pm AEST

Starting on Wednesday 11 June 2024

In this weekend of teachings, shared reflection, and meditation practice, Jan van der Breggen will guide participants through an exploration of key elements of Tibetan Buddhist tradition, with the aim to help anyone — whether new to Buddhism or with an already established practice path — establish a meaningful relationship with the vast and colourful world of Tibetan Buddhism.

Combining contemporary Western philosophical inquiries with classical Buddhist investigations into the nature of mind, Andy and Lynn invite you to spend a weekend on a personal, experiential journey to look deeply at mind and the nature of reality. Accessible and practical, these contemplative and meditative practices help us face our own experience with openness, spontaneity and compassion, liberate ourselves from the tyranny of our mental projections and access our own natural goodness.  

If you’re not sure what’s so special about Andy Karr and Lynn Friedman, come along on Friday 18 April to get a taste of where the Contemplating Reality retreat might take you. If you like it, you can then continue for three, four or the whole eight days.

From time to time we like to acknowledge a senior sangha member who has had a long involvement in activity and made a real contribution to how things get done in our Rigpa sangha. Barbara Brooks is one of these people.

Many of us receive emails advising when the next Tendrel Nyesel tsok practice will take place. Sogyal Rinpoche has said many times that there is no better practice than Tendrel Nyesel for removing obstacles, averting the inauspiciousness of the times and fulfilling our aspirations.
