Meditation helps change undesirable habits and improve self-confidence, adding a touch of dignity and sacredness to our lives. It has a proven record in its ability to improve health, transform negative situations and awaken happiness and give a clear perspective on life. Calm Abiding Meditation can help you become relaxed, focussed and peaceful. It enables you to identify the real causes of unhappiness and recover from stress, anxiety and tension.
To learn to meditate you need an experienced teacher and a well defined path. Lama Choedak Rinpoche is a master of Calm Abiding Meditation having undertaken extensive retreat in the Tibetan Buddhist monastic tradition and taught in the west for many years. His profound explanation of meditation and its everyday relevance is renowned for its lucidity, authenticity and humour. His teachings are offered from the heart, spiced with the richness of his experience, dedication and realisation.
Retreat is the best method for learning the technique and tools of meditation. SIBA is a beautiful and friendly Buddhist retreat centre in the Snowy River Country of East Gippsland. The consecrated land, surrounding nature, comfortable accommodation, delicious food and the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere provide the perfect support for an enjoyable and successful retreat experience.
Newcomers to meditation will find the instruction clear and meaningful while experienced practitioners discover new tools for engaging with their meditation practice that they did not have before.
Lama Choedak Rinpoche will give the empowerment of Avalokiteshvara, Bodhisattva of Compassion and impart the instruction on this daily sadhana practice and the recitiation of the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM.
The 2016 10-day Calm Abiding Meditation retreat conincides with the 10th anniversary of the founding of SIBA Retreat Centre. We are hoping to invite special high lamas as well as Lama Choedak Rinpoche to preside of this event.

Training the Trainer
Those who have completed a Ten-day Calm Abiding Meditation Retreat with Lama Choedak Rinpoche are eligible to attend the Train the Trainer Retreat.
This three day retreat is an intensive training to facilitate 8-week Calm Abiding Meditation Courses. Hundreds of students of Lama Choedak Rinpoche have lead these 8-week course all over Australia and New Zealand and taught the benefits of meditation to thousands of people. Many people come away from the course encouraged to teach meditation and find that teaching meditation is a very effective way to stimulate their own regular meditation practice.
The course structure has been carefully prepared by Lama Choedak Rinpoche with a complete set of MP3 recordings covering each of the eight weeks of the course as well as a comprehensive folder of handouts with a detailed lesson plan for each week.
The course runs from 3pm Sunday 2 October to 2pm Tuesday 4 October 2014. It immediately follows on from the 20th Annual Ten-day Calm Abiding Meditation Retreat.
