Every year, retreats with Sogyal
Rinpoche and other masters take place in France, Germany, Great
Britain, Ireland, North America and Australia. They are complemented
by a year-round program of courses in Rigpa's centers and groups
around the world. |
|
 |
|
|
These courses offer a graduated path of teachings and practice covering
the three 'vehicles' of Buddhism: the fundamental vehicle, the bodhisattva
training in compassion and the vajrayana teachings. Currently followed
by over three thousand people worldwide, they feature teachings
by Sogyal Rinpoche and other masters, and emphasize personal practice
and integration in daily life. A Distance Learning Program is also
available for individuals who do not live near a center or a group. |

To further Sogyal Rinpoche's
vision of a modern but authentic Buddhist education, Rigpa is developing,
with the advice of Tibetan masters of all schools as well as western
scholars, an increasingly complete foundation in the Buddhist teachings.
For those with an interest in more scholastic studies, a Study College
(Shedra) is being created, where students can follow a training
in the classical works of the Tibetan Buddhist canon, and study
subjects like philosophy, logic and debate, and Tibetan language.
The 3rd annual Rigpa School of Buddhist Studies will take place
this May and June in
Dzogchen Beara, Ireland and complete information about the Shedra
program can be found at www.rigpashedra.org. |
