Rigpa is an international network of centres and groups offering the Buddha’s teachings in a way that is based on an authentic tradition, yet also relevant and beneficial for people in the modern world. Rigpa offers courses and seminars in meditation and compassion, as well as a complete path of study and practice for every stage of the Buddha’s teachings.
RIGPA is a Tibetan word which means "the innermost nature of the mind."
Sogyal Rinpoche gave the name "Rigpa" to his work and to the vehicle he was developing to serve the Buddha's teaching in the west. Now an international network with centers and groups in eleven countries around the world, Rigpa seeks:
To make the teachings of Buddha available to benefit as many people as possible, and
To offer those following the Buddhist teachings a complete path of study and practice, along with the environment they need to explore the teachings to their fullest.
