World-renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher Lama Choedak Rinpoche will lead a weekend of teachings for the community at Woy Woy and Umina Beach on August 25-26.
The Central Coast Meditation Centre will host the sought-after speaker and meditation teacher.
Known around the world, he regularly teaches more than 1,000 people online through the Sakya Friends organisation.
Rinpoche is known for his deep wisdom, thoughtful insight and dedication to spreading the teachings of the Buddha to an international audience, making his brief visit to the Central Coast an event not to be missed.
He will give a public talk entitled Buddhist Perspectives on Wealth at the Woy Woy Sea Scouts Hall on Friday evening, August 25.
Rinpoche will speak on the four types of material wealth, three of which are to be avoided, and reveal the one and only useful wealth to adopt.
On Saturday, August 26, Rinpoche will lead a one-day Tibetan Wealth Manifestation workshop at Umina Beach.
It will cover how to create a more generous and abundant mindset to bring more happiness and contentment in one’s everyday life.
“We are really lucky to have a teacher of Rinpoche’s calibre coming to visit and teach on the Central Coast,” Central Coast Meditation Centre teacher Rachel O’Rourke said.
“Rinpoche is able to explain the profound teachings of meditation and Buddhism in a relevant, authentic and often humorous way.
“His teachings are offered from the heart, and draw on his extensive experience, dedication and realisation.”
Lama Choedak Rinpoche was born in a yak-hair tent in Tibet in 1954, and as a young boy made the perilous journey to Nepal with his family.
After formal training as a monk, he completed a three-and-a-half-year solitary meditation retreat sponsored by His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.
Rinpoche has lived in Australia now for over 35 years and is able to explain the time-honoured traditional Buddhist traditions for a contemporary audience in fluent English.
He is the author of a number of books including Healing Relationships: Buddhist Insights for Enduring Happiness, Original Virtue and Lamdre: Dawn of Enlightenment.
All are welcome to attend the weekend of teachings, which will be relevant regardless of religion or upbringing as they speak to the universal human values of generosity, loving-kindness and compassion.
