Become a Friend of Rigpa

If you have benefited from the work our centres provide, and feel inspired to help, we warmly invite you to become a friend of Rigpa. To become a friend of RIGPA in the UK is to make a connection to this authentic, living lineage with an offering, a tradition that goes back to the time of Buddha. You will be kept up to date with all the events, courses and practices happening at the RIGPA London centre and in the UK, and receive invitations to live, online and social events

Your offering enables us to:

• Offer the dharma to all

• Invite inspiring teachers and Lamas to come and teach in the UK

• Provide a valuable place of practise and social hub

• Maintain our beautiful centre, shrine and library

• Support our dedicated volunteers and staff


The actual amount you offer (monthly or annually) is up to you, but we suggest £20 monthly. If you have the means, offering more enables us to continue our work more widely. RIGPA has a policy of never turning anyone away for financial reasons, so if a smaller donation only is possible, this still creates a connection with our work and lineage.
