SUMMARY:The Fifth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche - Friday 9 October
DESCRIPTION:With great anticipation\, we are pleased to announce that the Fifth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche has offered to return and teach at our Melbourne Centre from 9–11 October 2026. \nAmnyi Trulchung Rinpoche is a highly accomplished Khenpo who studied at Larung Gar under the renowned master H.H. Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. \nSchedule & Teachings: \nFriday \n7:00–9:00 pm \nThe Four Noble Truths \nSaturday \n1:00–3:00 pm \nThe Four Seals \nSunday \n10:00 am–4:00 pm \nThe Heart Sutra and its Role in Mahayana Buddhism \n  \nWhere: Rigpa Melbourne Centre. 803A Nicholson Street\, Carlton North 3054 \n  \n“I had the good fortune to meet Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche when he first came to New Zealand. He knew little English at the time\, yet he was traditionally trained; a very senior lama and very impressive. A couple of decades later\, Rinpoche has come to know the Western mind well and is a wonderful teacher; highly recommended!!!” Quote from Ian Gawler \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. \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. \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. \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. \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. \n  \nhttps://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?title=Amnyi_Trulchung_Rinpoche \n  \n** Register for all three days of the event and receive 15% off.

SUMMARY:Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche | Teachings\, Empowerments and Transmissions
DESCRIPTION:Save the Dates: Bookings will open in September \nWhile the final programme is still being confirmed\, Rinpoche has agreed to give the following empowerments (wang): \n—Rongzom Kilaya – The Uncommon Vajrakīlaya lineage of Rongzom Paṇḍita stands among the most precious and extraordinary transmissions preserved within the Nyingma tradition and is important for the Yeshi Khorlo sangha. Learn more here. \n—Yang Nying Pudri – Razor of the Innermost Essence is a Vajrakilaya terma cycle revealed by Tertön Sogyal Lerab Lingpa. It serves as one of the two yidam practices for the Rigpa sangha and forms part of their foundational Three Roots practices. It allows students to practise the brief sadhanas of Vajrakilaya. Learn more here. \n—The 100 Peaceful and Wrathful Deities (Zhitro) of Chokgyur Lingpa – the Zhitro practice from the terma (treasure) cycle of the master Chokgyur Lingpa comprises the complete mandala empowerment of the 42 peaceful deities and 58 wrathful deities; it is a practice within the terma tradition and serves as an empowerment of the Guhyagarbha (Secret Essence) mandala. When teaching the Guhyagarbha Tantra\, His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche required the qualification of the kama (oral transmission) empowerment of the Nyingma Guhyagarbha peaceful and wrathful deities. However\, His Holiness granted permission that the Zhitro empowerment from the Chokgyur Lingpa terma could serve as a substitute for the kamaempowerment of the Guhyagarbha peaceful and wrathful deities.྄ \nReceiving this empowerment also qualifies students to study Chapter 10 of the Yönten Dzö (The Treasury of Precious Qualities)\, the famous treatise by Jikmé Lingpa\, in which he expounds the entire Buddhist path from the shravaka yana teachings up to the Great Perfection. \n—Tiglé Gyachen\, the profound innermost secret guru yoga practice of the Longchen Nyingtik tradition. \n  \nRinpoche will also grant the reading transmissions (lung) for the practices associated with all of these empowerments\, as well as the lungs for:\n—Zurchungpa’s Eighty Chapters of Personal Advice\, the final testament of the great Nyingma master Zurchung Sherab Trakpa\n—Shechen Gyaltsab’s Commentary on this text.\n(Zurchungpa’s Testament\, along with Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche’s commentary\, is available in English – available through Shambala/Snow-Lion) \nMatthieu Ricard\, who served as Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche’s translator for more than twenty years will translate for Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche during the empowerments. \n  \n🗓️ 23 – 25 October\n⏰ 8.30-5.00pm each day\n📍Lower Town Hall\, 483 George Street\, Sydney \n  \nEligibility: Those wishing to receive the empowerments and transmissions must meet the following conditions\, set by Rinpoche: \n\nHave taken refuge in the Three Jewels\nHave genuine faith and confidence in the Vajrayana teachings and in the Guru\nHave completed 100\,000 recitations of the Vajrasattva short mantra or 10\,000 recitations of the Hundred-Syllable Mantra. In recognition of the sincere aspiration of practitioners in this age\, and with great compassion for those earnestly seeking the Dharma\, Rinpoche has graciously agreed that those who are unable to complete the prerequisite before the empowerment may attend by making a heartfelt commitment to fulfil it afterwards.
