Welcome to Rigpa Brisbane
We are a community of friends from across Brisbane supporting each other on the spiritual path.
We offer Buddhist teachings and practices passed down over centuries through an authentic lineage.
Timeless and profound, these teachings and practices remain directly relevant to people in the modern world and daily life.
We invite you to join our meditation and study programs at our centre at 19 Enoggera Tce, Red Hill
Meditate with us
We offer regular drop-in meditation sessions following the authentic lineage of the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom tradition.
At the same time there is nothing traditional about the way we approach the practice. It is a process of coming to understand your own mind, and helping it to cool down from a state of mental or emotional busyness, and the speed of everyday life.
The sessions are very practical, and guide you into the practice in a simple and experiential way.

Courses, Retreats & Other Events
Rigpa Brisbane offers courses and practices for everyone interested in exploring meditation and studying Buddhism.
We provide a variety of study, meditation and other practice events to inspire participants – newcomers and established students alike. A graduated path of study and practice is available to those who want to follow the Buddha’s teachings more seriously, including advanced programs for members.
Our next course, titled The Power of Mind: kindness, clarity and insight, will start on Wednesday 25 September and run for seven weekly classes, until 13 November, with two extended classes on Saturday 19 October and Sunday 10 November. For more information, and to register for the course, please follow this link
Courses and other events may be for just an hour or two, or for a series of days or weeks. They are held by qualified and experienced teachers. All of our courses include plenty of time for reflection and discussion to allow attendees to connect with like-minded others and share understandings.
Register online for courses, or just come along for our weekly meditation.
Our purpose is to reach as many people as possible and share the precious Dharma. May you too be touched by the Buddha’s teachings.
Our Brisbane Centre
When people meditate together, it creates a powerful atmosphere. Our shrine room is a cosy space in which to sit, with a traditional yet simple Tibetan shrine that inspires stillness.
There’s a library to borrow from.
A verandah invites a chance to chat and discuss what’s important for you.
As people connect with the practices and teachings, they may choose to become a member of our local Buddhist community.
Volunteer run and not for profit, we are funded by membership and some funds arising from events and dharma items sales. The centre is managed by a coordinating team.
