Great Lakes Retreat 2017

 

Meet Sogyal Rinpoche

World renowned Tibetan master, Sogyal Rinpoche will be visiting Australia again in 2016. You are welcome to spend 3 or 10 days at the annual Rigpa retreat in the beautiful Myall Lakes, and attend daily teachings given by Rinpoche.

This is a precious opportunity to be in the presence of such a great teacher and hear this centuries-old Buddhist wisdom first hand.

Three Retreat Options

The Short Retreat Option will start at 5pm on 12 January and conclude in the late afternoon/evening on 16 January 2017.

The Full Retreat Option will also start at 5pm on 12 January and conclude in the late afternoon/evening on 22 January 2017.

The Retreat Extension for Rigpa students in the Ngondro and Dzogchen Mandala only, starting on 23 January and concluding in the late afternoon/evening on 26 January 2017.

Please, note that the short retreat will especially cater for public and newer Rigpa students.

Rinpoche has asked that the established Rigpa Sangha come to the full Great Lakes retreat, as this will be our main chance to connect with him in 2017.
