You will have already received an email about an exciting event, Being Bodhi coming up on the 23rd of June.
We wanted to give you a bit more of an idea about what Bodhi is, our hopes for the future, and warmly invite you to join us on this journey.
What is Bodhi now?
The Bodhi project, first established in 2014, has been evolving and now a new, dynamic team is exploring ways to bring the next chapter of Bodhi to the world in the most beneficial way. You are warmly invited to join the team on this journey.

What is Bodhi now?
The Bodhi project was first initiated by Sogyal Rinpoche in 2014 as a new way to share the Budhha’s teachings on compassion, meditation and wisdom in an authentic and relevant way, to everyone. It has been developing a lot since then and now a new, dynamic team is exploring ways to bring the next chapter of Bodhi to the world in the most beneficial way.
Bodhi is a Rigpa project that makes the teachings of Buddha available to a public audience in a language that is accessible, jargon-free, clear, down to earth and inspiring. It is an open and interactive community, without commitments, levels, or rituals. Bodhi offers an accessible and complete first connection to the Buddha Dharma and the profound path to enlightenment followed by the Rigpa Sangha for anyone who wants to go more deeply into the buddhist path.
We see Bodhi as about being connected
We see Bodhi as about being connected. A journey to freedom and our fullest potential. Awakening to who we truly are.
