Rinpoche Tulku Jigme 

"Mindfulness, Vipassana & the Way of the Bodhisattva"

sponsored by The Bodhi Bridge 

As part of our efforts to facilitate humanity’s conscious evolution, we equip retreat participants and community members with transformational teachings, tools, practices and community that inspire and empower them to engage more consciously and creatively with all of life.

Sitting and studying with beloved Tibetan Buddhist Philosophy & Dharma teacher, Venerable Tulku Jigme Rinpoche, is one of these rare and precious opportunities. Venerable Tulku Jigme Rinpoche is a reincarnated Tibetan Buddhist meditation and philosophy teacher who serves as the director and co-founder of Palmo Center for Peace & Education and Eugene Sakya Center. He has been traveling and teaching in Buddhist Centers and Universities from North America to Asia and Europe for more than 10 years.  With a unique blend of Eastern and Western perspectives, Rinpoche teaches with clarity, insight, and humor. He assists students in developing tools necessary to uncover their innate basic goodness which lies hidden beneath our obscuring habitual ways of perceiving ourselves and our world.

 Whether you are new to a path of mindfulness, awakening, and Buddhist teachings, or have been studying, sitting, and practicing mindfulness for decades, sitting with Rinpoche is such a treat! This a beautiful opportunity to Be in heart--centered community deepening our understanding of mindfulness practice and cultivating our individual and collective capacity for peace, harmony, loving-kindness, calm abiding, and present moment attention. As modern-day Bodhisattvas ("Bodhis" ~ people who are on a path of Awakening who assist others with the process of awakening), this is a precious opportunity to nurture our capacity to be present with each other and with life's modern day experiences while being centered in the timeless and formless aspect of our essential "Buddha" nature.
