We are honoured to present a very special teaching with Chamtrul Rinpoche Lobsang Gyatso, a world-renowned Tibetan Buddhist Rinpoche and respected teacher of the Nyingma tradition. Recognised as a reincarnation of the second Chamtrul Rinpoche, Rinpoche has devoted his life to studying and sharing the profound teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, including foundational practices, sutra and tantra philosophy, and compassionate guidance for everyday life.

With decades of experience teaching at monastic centres and in Buddhist communities around the globe, Rinpoche compassionately guides students of all backgrounds toward greater peace, wisdom and wellbeing. He regularly travels internationally to give teachings at no cost to attendees, empowerments, transmissions and public talks, responding to invitations from students across the United States, Europe, South Africa, Israel, Asia and beyond.

This event marks Chamtrul Rinpoche’s first-ever visit to Australia, offering a rare opportunity to receive teachings in person. In this teaching, he will explore the practice of giving and receiving- a heart-centred method for transforming suffering into joy, healing and resilience. With clarity and warmth, Rinpoche will share practical guidance on how these timeless Buddhist practices can be applied in our lives to cultivate compassion, deepen understanding, and nurture wellbeing.

Whether you are new to Buddhist practice or have been on the path for many years, this event offers meaningful insight and inspiration for all who wish to engage more deeply with the practice of compassion and the dharma.
