We are all most fortunate that His Eminence Ling Rinpoche will visit the Tibetan Buddhist Society on the weekend of 9 and 10 August during his Australasian tour, and greatly appreciate his kindness in giving special teachings during his visit.

His Eminence is the recognised reincarnation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Senior Teacher, His Holiness the 6th Kyabje Yongzin Ling Rinpoche. Ling Rinpoche holds a profound and unbroken lineage of wisdom, compassion, and spiritual transmission. This is a rare opportunity to receive teachings and empowerment from such an eminent master.

Teaching and empowerment program at the

Peaceful Land of Joy Meditation Centre

The pure mind of enlightenment – Saturday 9 August at 10 am


Bodhichitta is the highest evolution of love and compassion. There is nothing more useful we can do with our life than to perfect our capacity to benefit others. There is also nothing apart from Bodhichitta that can bring as much peace, joy and  well-being into our own life.  

This opportunity to receive instruction from His Eminence on training in the pure path of supreme good heart is extremely rare and special.

Our potential for enlightenment – Saturday 9 August at 2 pm

The teachings on Buddha potential are inspiring and profound. It is not only that we each carry the potential for our own enlightenment within us. In fact, the pure potential for enlightenment is the deepest nature of our own mind. The deepest nature of our own mind is not different from that of the Buddhas.  

His Eminence will explain Buddha potential and how our practice of Dharma develops it day by day.

Medicine Buddha empowerment – Sunday 10 August 10 am (arrival by 9 am)

Medicine Buddha is a beautiful Buddha emanation, manifesting in a sublime lapis lazuli coloured form. The profound practice of Medicine Buddha creates supporting conditions for mental, physical and emotional healing.

Receiving this empowerment gives us the foundation to engage in the practice of Medicine Buddha at a deeper level, and to realise its healing potential for ourselves and others. His Eminence requires that attendees have faith in their heart in the Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. For more information about the empowerment click here.

Biography: His Eminence Ling Rinpoche

The 7th Yongzin Ling Rinpoche entered Drepung Monastic University in South India in 1990 when he was five years old and began his monastic studies there at the age of ten. Rinpoche received his Geshe degree in November 2016 and enrolled at Gyuto Tantric College in Dharamsala, India in April 2017 for a year of tantric studies that traditionally follows the completion of a Geshe degree. He completed his studies in February 2018. During his studies, the 7th Yongzin Ling Rinpoche spent periods of time in retreat.

In 1991 Ling Rinpoche gave his first teaching in South Korea. Since then he has given teachings and tantric initiations in many countries in Asia and Europe, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Mongolia and Russia as well as Tibetan settlements throughout India and Nepal and Himalayan regions including Ladakh and Mon Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh). Rinpoche has also organized and attended many important Buddhist events.

H.E. Ling Rinpoche organized His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s historic series of Jangchup Lam Rim teachings on the 18 classic Stages of the Path to Enlightenment treatises. They were held at Sera, Drepung, Ganden and Tashi Lhunpo monasteries between 2012 and 2015 with approximately 40,000 people from 65 to 70 countries attending each year.

In 2017, H.E. Ling Rinpoche joined His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist leaders at a three-day International Buddhist Conference on “The Relevance of Buddhism in the 21st Century”, organized by the Indian Government Ministry of Culture and the Nava Nalanda Mahavihara.
