Courses & Centres overview

Welcome to Rigpa UK's courses and centres.

Rigpa offers a broad programme of courses, seminars and retreats designed to make the Buddhist teachings accessible and relevant to men and women of all ages, and from all walks of life.

For those new to Buddhism, there is an Introduction to Meditation course.

Our new course, called What Meditation Really Is, has been developed by Sogyal Rinpoche after many years of teaching in the West, and provides a unique and complete introduction to meditation. This course is suitable for all, and is open to anyone who has covered the one-evening Introduction to Meditation course

We also offer a complete and graduated training in the Buddhist teachings and practice. The ultimate goal is to guide and support students so they can receive the highest teachings in the Tibetan tradition, the teachings of Dzogchen, that lead to the direct realization of enlightenment.

For those who do not live or work near one of the local Rigpa centre or branches listed here, there may be existing Rigpa study groups that provide options for practice and study together.
