Shamatha meditation
First and third Sunday of each month, 10-11 am - open to all

“Shamatha” is the Tibetan term for single-pointed meditation. This practice combines a blend of guided meditations and rhythmic chanting. It is a restorative and relaxing meditation that increases one’s ability to concentrate and focus - essential for people looking to strengthen their practice and gain a deeper understanding of key Buddhist teachings. Khenpo Ngawang Dhamchoe leads this practice whenever he is in Sydney.

Some practices are for initiates only. If you are unsure about the pre-requisite empowerment, please email info@drogmi.org for details. 

​Green Tara practice - Buddha of compassionate action
First and third Sunday of the month 9-10 am 

Green Tara practice helps us overcome fears and obstacles, heal physical and mental illnesses and improve relationships. Tara is the mother of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the word Tara means “Saviour” or “One Who Saves”.
