Discover the profound stillness that is always with us beneath the turbulence of all our thoughts and emotions.

Based on recent teachings by Sogyal Rinpoche, this in-depth meditation class, for both new and continuing students, shows how we can allow the mind to settle quietly, in its own natural peace. Then what happens is quite extraordinary, and can bring us more confidence, clarity, compassion, and presence in everything we do.

The suggested donation is $75; reduced rate is $25.
Everyone is welcome regardless of ability to pay, scholarships are available. For more information please write to joanne.baltad@rigpa.org

playfulness on the path to awakening.”

News and Impressions from His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Visit to San Diego 2012

With the visit of the Dalai Lama to San Diego this week, there has been so much attention in the media about his work and Buddhism in general. We at Rigpa San Diego are so pleased he has come to teach in our community. We hope that our town and all beings will be blessed by his compassion.

Just a few notes:
Here is the link to the live webcast that will take place Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. from SDSU:

And finally, we'd like to take this moment to invite you all to an upcoming talk by a fabulous Tibetan lama that Rigpa is hosting. Tsoknyi Rinpoche is a modern meditation master who speaks with the wisdom and background of a traditional Tibetan Buddhist education, but who has lived in the West and speaks to our minds. Here is a link to info about his talk on May 16th at the Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla:

More about that later.

May all beings enjoy happiness!
