The Purpose of Life

Why working with the mind is the only way to find true happiness.

Rigpa Newcastle runs a variety of meditation courses and events at our centre in the heart of Newcastle that connect people with Buddhism and authentic Buddhist meditation teachings in Australia in a supportive and interactive environment. In the courses, students:

  • Receive Buddhist teachings from Sogyal Rinpoche, author of the highly acclaimed spiritual masterpiece on meditation and other Tibetan Buddhist practices, "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying", through audio and video recordings.
  • Explore how to integrate these teachings on the gradual and direct approaches to meditation into daily life through the practices of meditation and contemplation.
  • Share their understanding and questions about meditation through group discussion

Rigpa Newcastle also runs drop in meditation each week and other public events that allow people to connect with the teachings on meditation in a less formal way.

Rigpa Centres are non-profit groups staffed entirely by volunteers. Course fees and donations enable the ongoing study and practice of authentic Tibetan Buddhist meditation teachings. At no stage do we wish to exclude anyone experiencing financial difficulties.

If you would like to participate in one of our courses but feel you are unable to afford to do so simply ring the centre to discuss your situation and we will make an alternative arrangement for you.
