🙏🌟 Dear Friends, we warmly welcome you to join us for Discovering Buddhism - Module 12: Wisdom of Emptiness - Retreat Weekend

Saturday 31 October 2026 9:00 am
Sunday 1 November 2026 3:30 pm
Gompa - Chenrezig Institute

We started a new round of these practical and inspiring Discovering Buddhism teachings in May 2024, now we continue with the twelfth subject: Wisdom of Emptiness - Retreat Weekend

Learn how to develop calm abiding (shamatha), the ability to remain focused in meditation for as long periods as you want without distraction. Try different ways of meditating on emptiness, the lack of true existence of the self and all phenomena, the realization of which is crucial for the attainment of liberation and enlightenment.

Celebrating the Birthday of Our Beloved Teacher, Geshe Tsultrim-la 🌸✨

On 1st October, we gathered to celebrate the birthday of our precious teacher, Geshe Tsultrim-la.

We offered a White Tara Long Life Puja, which Geshe-la very kindly, in a profoundly moving display of humility and compassion, wished to dedicate to His Holiness the Dalai Lama instead. The puja was beautifully led by the Gyumed monks.

Following the puja, we offered Lama Chopa Tsog, along with a very special Long Life Prayer for Geshe-la, composed by Kyabje Jhado Rinpoche at our heartfelt request.

Afterwards, we all enjoyed a delicious lunch and birthday cake together in the Big Love Cafe.

We pray and wish Geshe-la a very long, healthy, and happy life, that he may continue to teach us the precious Dharma and inspire us all. 🙏🎂💗

🙏💗🌟🎂 Join us to celebrate Geshe Tsultrim's birthday 1 Oct 9:30am - 2pm with a White Tara Long Life Puja in the gompa, then lunch and birthday cake at the Big Love Cafe

We warmly invite you join us for a very special day at Chenrezig Institute as we come together to celebrate the birthday of our dear and precious resident teacher, Geshe Phuntsok Tsultrim, on Thursday, 1 October.

To begin the day, the Gyumed Geshes will lead a White Tara Long Life Puja for Geshe-la.
White Tara practice is traditionally associated with long life, healing and the removal of obstacles to life and Dharma practice. This is a precious opportunity for our community to come together, offer our prayers and dedicate the merit to Geshe-la’s long life and continued good health — so that he may continue to teach, guide and benefit students and countless sentient beings for many, many years to come. 🙏

Coming together in practice is also a beautiful way to cultivate harmony, connection and unity within our community.

If you would like to sponsor the puja, please see the event page: https://chenrezig.com.au/upcoming-events/geshe-tsultrims-birthday-2026

Following the puja, everyone is warmly invited down to the Big Love Cafe for a delicious vegetarian lunch and birthday cake as we celebrate Geshe-la together.

If you would like to join with lunch at the cafe, please book ahead 24 hours to help the kitchen cater for numbers here: https://chenrezig.com.au/big-love-cafe

And whether you're joining us for lunch or simply coming along to celebrate, birthday cake will be freely offered to everyone.

We would love to see our community come together for this joyful occasion — to celebrate Geshe-la, rejoice in his extraordinary kindness, and make heartfelt prayers for his long and healthy life!

🌟🙏 Finding Freedom Meditation Retreat with Rob Gillow

🌟Places are still available for this weekend

9am Saturday 26 September-
4pm Sunday 27 September

Operating from within the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often overlook our most essential relationship, the one that we have with ourselves. Caught up in the currents of responsibilities, commitments, and the constant clamour of distractions, we seldom prioritise the simple act of being present with ourselves and our own minds.

This weekend meditation retreat is an invitation to learn/relearn/practice some of the essential skills associated with the art and path of being present with ourselves and our own minds.

The practices taught on this retreat, known traditionally as Shamatha and Vipassana, focus on the cultivation of mindfulness and insight. Together these meditation practices provide a genuine path to inner wellness, and outer harmony.

This retreat will include a mixed format of both theory and practice sessions. All are welcome.

For more information and registration, please visit: https://chenrezig.com.au/upcoming-events/finding-freedom-meditation-retreat-weekend-september

If you would like to have a delicious vegetarian lunch during the weekend, please book here 24 hours in advance:
