About
Accessible and applicable to people from all walks of life.
Located in Newcastle, Australia, Rigpa Newcastle Buddhist Meditation Centre is a community of friends who come together to support each other on the spiritual path. With a foundation in Tibetan Buddhist teachings and practises passed down through an authentic lineage, Rigpa Newcastle offers a space for individuals to deepen their understanding and experience of meditation and Buddhism.
The centre hosts regular meditation sessions at Infuse Health in Adamstown, on the last Friday of each month. These drop-in sessions are perfect for both beginners and seasoned meditators, providing step-by-step guidance to help build confidence in one's own meditation practise and inspire the establishment of a daily routine. Led by experienced Rigpa instructors, these sessions offer an opportunity to cultivate mindfulness and inner peace amidst the busyness of everyday life.
Rigpa Newcastle also offers a range of classes and events throughout the year. For those interested in diving deeper into the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism, the centre conducts study programmes exploring various topics such as the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Karma and This Life, Bodhicitta and Tonglen, and more. These classes allow participants to delve into the timeless and profound teachings, applying them to their own lives for personal growth and transformation.
In addition to regular classes and meditation sessions, Rigpa Newcastle provides online courses and drop-in guided practise sessions for the convenience of those unable to attend in person. These virtual offerings allow individuals to engage in meditation and study from the comfort of their own homes, while still benefiting from the guidance of experienced teachers.
One unique aspect of Rigpa Newcastle is its Spiritual Care Programme, which offers practical ways for individuals facing illness or death, as well as their families and caregivers, to find solace and support through the wisdom and compassion of Buddhist teachings. This programme embodies the compassionate and inclusive nature of Rigpa Newcastle, extending the benefits of meditation and spirituality beyond the individual to the wider community.
By joining the mailing list and following Rigpa Newcastle on social media platforms, individuals can stay informed about upcoming programmes, events, and classes. Rigpa Newcastle welcomes anyone interested in exploring meditation, Buddhism, and the transformative power of spiritual practise. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, Rigpa Newcastle Buddhist Meditation Centre provides a warm and supportive environment for all to embark on their spiritual journey.
