SUMMARY:Bringing the Mind Home - Finding Inner Peace\, Compassion\, and Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:The key message of Buddha’s teachings is both empowering and optimistic: that inherent in the essential nature of our mind is a kindness\, compassion\, and wisdom that is naturally ours. And through the simple\, yet revolutionary shift in orientation that comes when we learn to turn within and come to know that aspect of our mind\, we will come to discover within ourselves a tremendous capacity to benefit ourselves and our world. \nThe teachings of the Buddha say that when we understand our mind\, we understand ourselves and who we really are\, and this brings with it a deep sense of peace\, confidence\, and well-being. For those of us who are searching for a wholesome relationship with ourselves and the world around us\, Buddha’s message is an invitation for exploration and investigation. \nThe Buddha never asked anyone to just believe what he said\, but instead asked us to deeply investigate anything before accepting it. In this course\, we invite you to do exactly this\, and will facilitate a process of \n\nlearning about what Buddha had to say about our mind\, and its role in creating our reality\nreflection and investigating this to see if it rings true to you\, and challenging our own views and habits in light of our understanding\nmeditation – which is a direct and experiential process of clearly and directly seeing your own mind and reality\, in light of the insights gained through learning and reflection\n\nThe course draws on a variety of sources\, ranging from the direct teachings of Buddha recorded in ancient texts called sutra and abhidharma\, to contemporary masters who hold the living and unbroken transmission of the Buddha’s wisdom mind\, and are able to guide us from the depth of their insight and compassion. \n  \nCourse details \nThis is the first module of a two part course. It can be followed as as stand-alone course or taken together with the next course module\, which will run from Wednesday 20 August to Wednesday 8 October 2025 \n\nWhen: Weekly classes on Wednesday evenings from 11 June to 30 July 2025\, 7:00 – 8:45pm AEST. Practice based classes on Sunday 29 June and Sunday 27 July\, 9:30am to 3:30pm AEST\nWhere: \nin person at Rigpa Brisbane\, 2/19 Enoggera Terrace\, Red Hill; \nin person at Rigpa Melbourne\, 803 Nicholson St\, Carlton North and \nonline (online attendance only available if you do not live in Brisbane or Melbourne)\nCost: $200 full fee or $110 concession\n\nFor Rigpa subscribers: The course is included in your subscription fees

SUMMARY:The Power of Mind: Kindness\, Clarity & Insight
DESCRIPTION:This brand new weekly course presents the Mahayana Seven Points of Mind Training. These points lay out a path of formal meditation practice\, along with guidelines for extending that practice into everyday life. \nThese teachings are precious and unique in presenting the entire depth and breadth of the Buddha’s Mahayana teachings succinctly and practically. Mahayana mind training offers an approach to life that is straightforward\, grounded in sanity\, kindness\, and compassion. Yet it also offers a vision that completely transcends our ordinary way of viewing ourselves and others\, with an all-encompassing vision of enlightenment. \nAt the heart of this vision of enlightenment is the view that our innate\, fundamental identity is vast\, luminous and utterly awake. The Mahayana teachings refer to this as our enlightened heart\, or bodhicitta. Enlightenment is nothing other than who we really are. But for most of us\, our true nature is like a hidden treasure\, concealed behind layers of mental activity and preoccupation. \nMahayana mind training helps us give expression to our enlightened heart in everything we think\, say and do. The training particularly focuses on our relationships\, which are like a mirror that shows us exactly where we are at. Our relationships also provide us with a way to dissolve the limitations that prevent the vastness of our true nature from fully manifesting. \nFounded on a practice lineage that has been actively practised for hundreds of years\, these teachings are completely relevant to the challenges posed by our modern\, globalised life. This course will include topics like: \n\nfinding meaning in our lives\, and connectedness with our world\novercoming loneliness and isolation\nhow to thrive in the face of difficulties\nhow to contribute to creating a more sustainable\, kind\, and compassionate world\n\nThe course will consist of seven classes on Wednesday evenings\, plus two extended practice based classes where we gather for more in-depth mind training meditation practice. \n🗓️ 7 weekly classes: 25 September – 13 November 2024 (course break on Wednesday 9 October)\n⏰ 7:00-8:45pm AEST (Start time 11:00am CEST\, 5:00am US East Coast)\n* as this will be taught from Brisbane\, times in other locations will change once summer time begins in some states in the second week of October. Please use this time zone calculator for full details \nPractice days on Saturday 19 October and Sunday 10 November\, 9:30am to 3:30pm AEST (Start time 10:30 AEDT\, 1:30am CEST\, 7:30pm US East Coast) \n📍Online via Zoom and in person at Rigpa Brisbane\, 2/19 Enoggera Tce\, Red Hill. \n💰full $200\, concession $100\, free for Rigpa paying subscribers (registration is still required\, just close the payment page that comes up after registration.)

SUMMARY:Tuesday Book Group
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss Thomas K. Shor’s book A Step Away from Paradise in the Book Group. \nThis book tells the true story from a far-off corner of the Himalayas\, long fabled in Tibetan tradition to be hiding among its peaks and glaciers a valley of immortality – a real-life Shangri-La. \nThey had been waiting generations for the prophesied lama to come\, the one with the secret visionary knowledge of how to ‘open’ the Hidden Land. \nThen\, one day\, he came. It was the early 1960s. His name was Tulshuk Lingpa. This book tells the story of this charismatic visionary lama and his remarkable expedition. \nJust imagine… What would have happened if Lewis Carroll had proclaimed the reality of Alice’s Wonderland? What if he had gathered a following & launched an expedition? \nIt is a wonderful opportunity to share insights and reflections with like-minded Dharma friends. \nA small plate of food to share and a donation to our Centre is most appreciated. \nAll are welcome. \nPre-booking is not required. \nEnquiries: Contact Liz at brisbane@rigpa.org.au

SUMMARY:Warm Heart\, Wise Mind: A deep dive into our own compassionate nature
DESCRIPTION:A new course offered by Rigpa Brisbane | Wednesday evenings | 7:00pm – 8:45pm \nFor 10 sessions at Rigpa Brisbane \nStarting 5 June 2024 \nWith Jan van der Breggen \n\nThis course explores the transformative power of compassion\, and how to respond to the challenges of our lives in an open hearted\, compassionate way. In the Buddhist tradition compassion is treasured as a powerful source of healing and inner strength\, and the key to building meaningful relationships. \nWe will take our life experiences as the starting point of our 10-week journey. They are the ‘raw materials’ for developing compassion. We will explore how opening our mind and heart to our own and others’ experiences of happiness and suffering helps us connect with our innate capacity for empathy.  Compassion\, then\, arises when we take this natural capacity for empathy—that love and affection we all feel for one another— and combine it with wisdom. The basis of this wisdom is a deep understanding of suffering and its causes\, and a realisation that our own happiness and the happiness of others are deeply connected and dependent on each other. \nThe course will draw on a variety of sources\, ranging from insights of contemporary science and philosophy to the direct teachings of Buddha recorded in ancient texts called sutra and abhidharma\, to contemporary masters who hold the living and unbroken transmission of the Buddha’s wisdom mind and are able to guide us from the depth of their insight and compassion. \n  \n \nAbout Jan van der Breggen \nJan has studied and practised the Dharma since the mid-1990s\, learning from many great masters\, but principally from Sogyal Rinpoche and Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. From 2006 to 2009\, he participated in a three-year meditation retreat in France. \nIn 2022\, Jan was entrusted by Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche and Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche as one of the twenty-five\, worldwide Rigpa Senior Teachers. In 2017 he was selected to be a participant of the Milinda program\, a 10-year\, international Buddhist teacher training program under the guidance of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. \nJan grew up in the Netherlands where he earnt his masters degree in Historical Anthropology. He is fluent in English and Dutch\, and lives in Brisbane where he works as a data analytics professional whilst being involved in the Rigpa Brisbane and National Centre as a dharma teacher. \n  \nThis course is suitable for:  Beginners and experienced students alike \nWhen: 10 weekly classes\, Wednesday 5 June to 7 August 2024\, 7 to 8.45pm AEST \nWhere: In person at Rigpa Brisbane\, 19 Enoggera Tce\, Red Hill (online attendance only available if you do not live in Brisbane) \nCost: $200 full fee or $110 concession \nFor Rigpa subscribers: The course is included in your subscription fees (registration is still required\, just close the payment page that comes up after registration.)

SUMMARY:Tuesday Book Group
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s book Open Heart\, Open Mind in the Book Group. \nTsoknyi Rinpoche’s story is an unusual one – as a rebellious young man\, he fled a monastery to marry and raise a family\, then returned to Nepal and has since become a preeminent Tibetan Buddhist teacher. As a married man raising two daughters\, Tsoknyi Rinpoche has interesting views on how to balance a life dedicated to Buddhist practice with the demands of a husband and father. In addition\, he has a keen interest in the ongoing dialogue between Eastern philosophy and Western research\, especially in neuroscience. His writing reflects this awareness of the Western psyche while also imparting the earliest tenets of Buddhism. \nOpen Heart\, Open Mind offers Rinpoche’s extraordinary history as an example of how to lead a compassionate life\, regardless of status\, tradition or circumstances.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma \nOn Friday 21 July\, dharma practitioners around the world will celebrate Chökhor Düchen\, the ‘Festival of Turning the Wheel of Dharma’ — one of the four major Buddhist holidays celebrating the life of Shakyamuni Buddha. It occurs on the fourth day of the sixth Tibetan lunar month. For seven weeks after his enlightenment\, Buddha did not teach. Finally\, encouraged by Indra and Brahma\, he turned the Wheel of Dharma for the first time\, at Sarnath\, by teaching the ‘Four Noble Truths’. The effects of our actions are said to multiply 10 million times on this day. \nAll are welcome. \nPre-booking is not required. \nEnquiries: brisbane@rigpa.org.au
