Many of us experience dissatisfaction or feeling that something is missing in our lives, even when on the surface things seem quite good. This session presents teachings by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and Sogyal Rinpoche that show us how turning our mind inwards, through reflection and meditation, offers us a path out of endless dissatisfaction to finding true, lasting happiness.

A session in the Meditation and Wisdom to Transform Everyday Life series.

Forty people gathered at the National Centre from across Australia and as far away as the Netherlands to spend five days exploring the 7 Points of Mind Training’s bodhichitta practices. We were joined by another forty from our centres in Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne, and directly online (including one special student who defied time differences to follow the entire retreat from Ireland). A huge thank you to everyone on the team that made this such a moving, thought provoking and joyous retreat.

Andrew Robinson and wife Prem represented Rigpa on Tuesday 26 May at NSW Parliament when the Buddhist community came together to commemorate Vesak - the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha, and to share the values of peace and compassion. (In Tibetan Buddhism, Vesak is called Saga Dawa).

Dominique Side’s visit to Australia

Rigpa Senior Teacher Dominique Side will visit Australia in October to present 5 public talks. Each of these are stand-alone topics, but they follow the sequence of Dominique’s latest course: A New Way of Seeing the World – From Knowledge to Insight. We strongly encourage you to attend the session in your city in person, and join the others online to make the month of October a complete journey from the struggles of daily life to an investigation of where we can find long-lasting sustainable happiness.
