Virtual Pilgrimage
Langri Tangpa Centre
BUDDHIST CENTRE
A non-profit centre for Tibetan Buddhist teaching and meditation in Brisbane.
Welcome! to Langri Tangpa Centre.
This week’s highlights…
Monday 24 February is Losar – Tibetan New year! – and we are beginning the 14 days of celebrations with a special Losar Vajrasattva Tsog offering (6.30 pm). This was a practice very dear to Lama Yeshe, the founder of the FPMT and our centre, who passed away on this day in 1984. It is an opportunity to reflect on our priorities in life and Lama Yeshe’s emphasis on our developing a growing awareness of our potential for inner awakening.
On Saturday 29 February, a special Buddha Day where the results of everything we do are greatly magnified, we are holding a Virtual Pilgrimage (9 am) right here in our meditation hall! Come visit the eight great places of Buddhist pilgrimage from the comfort of a chair and in just a few short steps!
This Sunday 1 March is the Starting Point beginner’s afternoon (2 pm). It’s a great introduction to the centre, to find your way around our extensive program, and a nice way to introduce friends and family to your home away from home!
Yoga classes are open to all and customised for all skill-levels. We have four classes a week on Mondays and Wednesdays (9.30 am & 6.30 pm). All classes are lead by qualified instructors, and are a flat fee of $15 per session (cash only please). Enter through the doors at the street. All equipment supplied, but BYO water bottle.

Overcoming Burnout and Fatigue
Dealing with the Empathy Dilemma!
Most of us will experience a point where we just want it all to stop. Even tasks we’re passionate about can become too daunting and we shy away or do them with a sense of obligation or resentment. When this burnout and fatigue strikes, there are steps we can take to get back on course and it’s simpler than you might think. Join us for a fascinating and practical combination of modern research findings and ancient practices to help you be at your best and still give your best to others.
