Discover how to make your life happy and Meaningful
Welcome to Langri Tangpa Centre!
We are 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. There is no need, or expectation, to be a Buddhist to benefit. LTC is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers, dedicated to Kindness, Compassion and clarity, and affiliated with the FPMT.
Coming Up Today
All our classes are by donation (excluding yoga). You can make your contribution online or in person on the day.

Ngöndro Group Practice: Refuge
Hybrid Event Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), 535 Old Cleveland Road, Camp Hill, QLD 4152Week of Events
Protector Prayers (PRACTICE ALONG)
Prayers to protect from obstacles on a spiritual path. The protectors are wrathful emanations of the Buddha, that terrify our distorted attitudes and free us from the bondage of ego. (PRACTICE ALONG at your preferred time with a pre-recorded puja)
24hr Mahayana Precepts (PRACTICE ALONG)
Make your life highly meaningful, and so easily, and with only small hardships, collect a great deal of merit. Precepts days are powerful. By taking the Eight Mahayana Precepts for a day, every meritorious act you do on this day is greatly multiplied. It also guards you from creating any new negative karma - which also would be multiplied! (PRACTICE ALONG at your preferred time with a pre-recorded puja)

Lamrim Chenmo – Insight
Lamrim Chenmo – Insight
This term we begin the sixth perfection, the Perfection of Wisdom. Why is this the most important of the Six Perfections? Because all of us share the wish to be happy and to overcome duḥkha. We recognise how the situation in saṃsāra is utterly unsatisfactory, but ceasing samsara entails eradicating its causes, and these are rooted in the ignorance grasping persons and phenomena as inherently existent. By meditating with the wisdom directly perceiving emptiness, the afflictions and their seeds can be gradually cleansed from one's mindstream until full awakening is on the horizon! (Fortnightly in-depth course ONLINE)
Meditation: Calm, Cleanse and Inspire
Meditation: Calm, Cleanse and Inspire
Spend a relaxed morning enjoying a guided meditation led by the LTC nuns! Mindfulness breathing, short Q&A, followed by a cleansing meditation on the Buddha. Stay on afterwards for delicious chai tea in reception! (IN-PERSON)
The purpose of our life, as HH the Dalai Lama has said, is to be both happy and useful. Buddhism offers incredibly effective, well-proven methods to do just that, and Langri Tangpa Centre is the place in Brisbane where you can learn more about it.
We hold regular classes both in-person and online. You don’t need to be a Buddhist, or even religious, to find an event that suits you. There is a wide range of programs for beginners through to more established students, as well as community activities, mindfulness meditations, and international teaching tours. Feel free to join a class, even if we are part way through the course.
