Welcome to
Langri Tangpa Centre!

Langri Tangpa Centre is a non-profit organisation, founded in 1982, and run entirely by volunteers. We are a teaching and meditation centre in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and provide a friendly and supportive environment for learning and putting into practice the teachings of the Buddha.

Wear a mask = Cherish others

Face-masks must be worn during your time at the centre, but students can remove their masks once they are seated in class (as per QLD Health directives).

All our events are by donation. We don’t ever want financial considerations to be the reason you cannot come! There is a suggested donation of $10, but there is no set amount – please offer what you are comfortable with on the day. We thank you for your generosity. Your contribution ensures that Langri Tangpa Centre can continue to offer the program, pay the mortgage, and cover the substantial running costs.

There is no need to be a Buddhist to benefit from the courses on offer. We  encourage questioning and open dialogue, and welcome everyone with an interest in making their life both happy and meaningful. Feel free to join a class, even if we are part way through the course.

Meditations for Peace and Happiness

Meeting the Challenge of Our Time

This present time of upheaval and uncertainty provides an opportunity to develop our inner resources and resilience.

Meditations to help increase happiness and reduce suffering by abiding with joyousness and equanimity, so that each day we bring loving-kindness and compassion to ourselves and those around us. Learn to relax, practice mindfulness, and cultivate these attitudes to foster your own happiness, and help others without burning out.

Over five weeks we will be guided in developing and strengthening universal attitudes of care and resilience, such as kindness, compassion, empathic joy and equanimity. In Buddhist practice these are known as the Four Immeasurables, as their benefits are extensive for ourselves and our community, and can be enjoyed by people of all religions, or no religion.
