Rigpa Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Centre

Welcome to Rigpa Birmingham.

We teach meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition to people from all walks of life.The approach of our meditation course is both open and authentic, so it is appropriate for those who don’t necessarily wish to think of themselves as Buddhist but wish to explore their inner development and bring benefit to others.

We also have courses for people who wish to study and practise the Buddha’s teachings in more depth, and perhaps follow them as a lifetime spiritual path.We have been holding meditation courses in Birmingham since 1994 and are always happy to welcome newcomers.

Meditation can be described as a process of getting to know our own mind, or coming to understand and work with the mind.Although it can be presented as a subject that is vast and extremely profound, the basics of meditation are actually very simple. Anyone can meditate, and you can do it almost anywhere and at any time.

With meditation practice, the environment of our mind and heart transforms, and we can find contentment and happiness. Scientific research has also revealed that meditation brings a range of benefits for our health, and can help with anxiety, stress and depression.

As we gradually integrate meditation into our everyday life, there builds in us a simplicity, stability and confidence with which we can meet life and the complexity of the world with composure, compassion, ease and humour.

Meditation is the way to bring us back to ourselves, where we can really experience and taste our full being, beyond all habitual patterns.Whether you are new to meditation, or a seasoned practioner, we offer a variety of ways to explore and deepen your understanding.
