Renunciation – Embracing Freedom in Daily Practice
Renunciation – Embracing Freedom in Daily Practice
Just because we know something is good or bad for us, it doesn't mean we always do it or avoid it easily. For example, we know smoking is bad but some people still do it. And we know being patient and kind is good, but we still get angry when someone cuts us off in traffic. To get better at being patient and kind, we need to learn special techniques that can help us change our bad habits. In the next four weeks, we will practice techniques based on trainings within the three scopes that will help us stay calm and happy even when things around us are upsetting. (Final in a 4-week in-depth course, ONLINE)

Welcome to
Langri Tangpa Centre!
Langri Tangpa Centre is a teaching and meditation centre in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. We provide a friendly and supportive environment for learning and putting into practice the teachings of the Buddha. Langri Tangpa Centre was founded in 1982, and run entirely by volunteers.
Our centre is located on the southside of Brisbane. We hold classes both in-person and online. All our events are by donation (we don’t ever want financial considerations to be the reason you cannot come!) Your contribution ensures that Langri Tangpa Centre can continue to flourish, offer classes, host visiting teachers, and cover running costs.
At LTC we embrace diversity and equal opportunity with respect to race, religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, sexual orientation, and physical abilities. There is no need to be a Buddhist to attend and benefit from our courses. We encourage questioning and open dialogue, and welcome everyone with an interest in making their life happy, helpful and full of meaning. Feel free to join a class, even if we are part way through the course.
Practices for Rinpoche’s Swift Return
Rinpoche was the embodiment of bodhicitta, and always stressed the importance of remembering impermanence, and the essential need to put the teachings into practice. This is what we can do for our precious guru now. We can all connect with the guru and receive the guru’s blessings in this way.
