Rigpa, traditionally, is what Tibetans call the “true nature of mind.” It is the gap between each of our thoughts, that blessed non-thought experience of consciousness. More recently, Rigpa is a global network of like-minded individuals attempting to provide a place for spiritual development within the Buddhist framework. Rigpa is headed by Songyal Rinpoche, famed writer of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. Geordie (drummer of Contraband), Joy Luv, and I had the chance to see him speak at Columbia University last week. Rinpoche is a light-hearted, spirited man, and he’s got jokes! You wouldn’t normally expect someone who is far along the path to enlightenment to have so many clever things to say, but au contraire mon frère. We had a great time listening to him speak on the nature of mind, and the jokes helped cement many of the arcane and complex ideas into my head.

You can access many things on the Rigpa website, not least of which is a catalog of lessons and teachings given by Rinpoche.

Enjoy, and bodhi svaha! (Hail enlightenment!)
