Learn & Practice

 

The first & basic practice of meditation is to allow the mind to settle into a state of ‘calm abiding’, where it will find peace & stability.

By developing compassion and loving kindness both for ourselves and others, we discover a stable sense of self-esteem and a healthy, nourishing love for ourselves.

Find out more through videos, online courses, courses and retreats.

Courses and events offered in Rigpa form part of an in-depth curriculum of study, reflection, practice and retreat based on the graduated stages of the Buddhist path of awakening.

At each stage one can study and practise in depth, or in a more essential way, the key point being the transformation that actually takes place in one’s being. More info
