SUMMARY:Practical Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Making the everyday your spiritual path \nInvestigating how we can we translate the presence and awareness we cultivate in the meditation into action. And\, how we can use our everyday activities to deepen our understanding of reality.\nOnline\nMonday evenings\nStarts 15 September \n  \nHow can we apply the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha’s teachings to our daily lives? How can we translate the presence and awareness which we cultivate on the meditation cushion into action? How can we use our everyday activities to strengthen and deepen our view and understanding of reality? \n In this day and age\, many of us find ourselves feeling busier and more stressed and it seems more difficult to find time for meditation practice. If we really wish to progress on the spiritual path\, we need to bridge the separation between our study and practice and our everyday life. Based on the wisdom of the Buddhadharma\, Sogyal Rinpoche’s Practical Wisdom teachings provide us with a rich array of advice and skilful tools to help us in our task of integrating the dharma into our lives in order to bring benefit to others. \n The Practical Wisdom teachings show us how to dissolve the separation between our practice and our everyday life; how to use every opportunity in our day to progress on the spiritual path; and how to accomplish our everyday tasks more effortlessly. These teachings are practical\, relevant\, and even life changing. \n Course participants will need basic understanding of the principles of Mahayana Buddhism\, and some familiarity with meditation and compassion practices. The course is recommended for students who have completed a course or retreat with Rigpa. \n  \nOnline   \nWhen: Monday evenings\, 12 weeks\n 7:00-9:00pm AEDT (9:00am CET\, 3:00am Mon US East) \nWhere: Online via Zoom\n$240\, concession $120\, free for Rigpa subscribers \nWe are yet to finalise dates for when this course will be offered in 2025. If you are interested in attending this course\, please register your interest by emailing rigpa.australia@rigpa.org.au.

SUMMARY:Love\, Compassion\, Joy & Equanimity
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that the Fifth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche has offered to teach in our Melbourne Centre on the evenings of September 19 and 20 and for the day on Sunday September 21. He is a Kempo who studied at Larang Gar under Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche.\n\n\nFriday September 19 from 7pm till 9pm. \nLove\, Compassion\, Joy & Equanimity – the motivation of the Four Immeasurables in our lives and practice\n \n\nAbout Rinpoche\nThe Fifth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche was born in 1970\, amid many auspicious signs\, and was soon recognised as the reincarnation of the Fourth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche of Ju Mohor Monastery.\n\nEven as a young boy\, he was unlike his peers. He had a particularly loving and compassionate nature that was noted and appreciated by all who met him. Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche showed exceptional intelligence in all his studies and attained perfect understanding in all he was taught.\nWith the guidance of his spiritual teachers\, he undertook all the traditional training of his lineage. This included accumulating the 500\,000 ngondro practices\, and training in the Rigdzin lineage tradition including the essential Dzogchen instructions of kadak trekchö and lhundrop tögal during which time he gained extraordinary insights and experiences from his meditation practice. This training culminated in a three year retreat at Yachen Orgyen Samten Choeling\, under the regular guidance of HH Lama Achuk Rinpoche.\n\nAt the age of 18 years he was formally enthroned as the Fifth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche and abbot of Ju Monastery.\nHis education continued at the great university centre of Larang Gar at Serthar. He studied the different schools of Buddhist philosophy and the sutra and tantra under a number of teachers\, particularly the founder of Larang Gar\, HH Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. He graduated from Larang Gar as a Khenpo at the age of 25.\n\nLater\, Rinpoche returned to Ju Mohor Monastery to give teachings\, to the great benefit of the monastic community there. During this time\, Rinpoche also received many empowerments\, oral transmissions and pith instructions of the secret Nyingmapa kama and terma traditions from a number of scholars and practitioners including HH Drupwang Pema Norbu\, Khenpo Pema Tsewang\, Venerable Gyangkhang Tulku\, Venerable Khenpo Choekyap\, Venerable Trulshig Rinpoche and Venerable Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche and several teachings on Secret Mantrayana from Venerable Ngorlu Ding Khenchen.\n\nRinpoche is now heading the groundbreaking Vista Project\, based in Sershul\, the town closest to Ju Mohor Monastery. The aim of the Vista Project is to revitalise the economic and cultural lives of the Tibetan people. Although the Chinese economy is growing rapidly\, the nomadic peoples of Eastern Tibet are often unable to take advantage of the opportunities available. The Vista Project aims to provide basic education and vocational training to enable local nomads to survive and prosper in the modern economic climate and also to preserve and cultivate the ancient culture of Tibet.
