Rigpa Fellowship was founded in 1979 by Sogyal Rinpoche, a Buddhist teacher from
Tibet, who was also the author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. Rigpa
has the gracious patronage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and each national
Rigpa association has charitable and non-profit status. Meditation and
Compassion through to traditional Buddhist studies Our courses and programmes
share simple meditation techniques and methods for training in compassion, which
have been developed over centuries, yet help us deal with the challenges of
everyday life. Meditation and compassion have been shown to be beneficial in
many different ways, including bringing peace of mind, tackling stress,
depression and other mental health problems. They can also help us to develop
more kindness and warm-heartedness for ourselves, our families and those around
us. For those who wish to go deeper into studying and practising Buddhism, Rigpa
also offers study and practice programs including courses in the Vajrayana
Buddhist tradition of Tibet, a traditional study college (shedra) and short and
long practice retreats (drupdra). Inviting teachers of all traditions A unique
feature of Rigpa UK’s event programme is that it regularly hosts teachers of all
Tibetan Buddhist traditions as well as Buddhist masters of other lineages, and
teachers from different spiritual traditions. Such diversity is a continuation
of the rimé or ‘non-sectarian’ approach, advocated by Sogyal Rinpoche’s master
Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö who was an incarnation of one of the initiators of
the Rimé movement—the great 19th century master Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Rigpa
