These events are open to all students following the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, providing opportunities for vast collaborative gatherings of Western Buddhist students. In 2025, Kyabj\u00e9 Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche bestowed the entire transmission of the Longchen Nyingtik (Nyingtik Tsap\u00f6) to a gathering of over 1,000 participants from different sanghas at Lerab Ling, Rigpa\u2019s retreat centre in southern France. This marked the first time these transmissions were given in their entirety in Europe.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its first drupchen (a form of intensive Vajrayana group practice) in 1997, Rigpa has developed a tradition of annual drupch\u00f6s and drupchens. This tradition has grown through in-depth guidance from eminent masters, including Neten Chokling Rinpoche and Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche. To establish this tradition in the West, led by Western practitioners, groups of Rigpa students have received thorough training at Chokling Monastery in Bir and Dodrup Monastery in Sikkim, as well as from visiting lamas and lopons (practice specialists). In 2026, under the close guidance of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Rigpa hosted its first drupchen conducted entirely in English, in the long life practice of Chim\u00e9 Pakm\u00e9 Nyingtik. This development marks an important step in the evolution of Tibetan Buddhism in the West.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large collection of teachings given in Rigpa by masters of all Tibetan Buddhist traditions over more than four decades can be found on Rigpa\u2019s online platform, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prajnaonline.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prajna Online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3eff65a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3eff65a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7296431 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7296431\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2baa3dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2baa3dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"retreat-centres\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Retreat Centres and Traditional Practice Retreats<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9517d3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9517d3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rigpa\u2019s two main retreat centres\u2014Lerab Ling in southern France and Dzogchen Beara in south-west Ireland\u2014were established in the 1990s as places where students could gather, particularly during the Summer months, for annual study and practice retreats led by Sogyal Rinpoche and other Tibetan Buddhist masters.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more than three decades, Lerab Ling and Dzogchen Beara have offered regular programmes of retreats, seminars and workshops led by Tibetan Buddhist masters and Western Buddhist teachers, including Rigpa instructors and teachers.

During the Three-Year Retreat, participants received a complete, authentic and in-depth training in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An innovative feature of the retreat was the Home Retreat programme, which was followed by more than three thousand people in forty-one different countries.
