Welcome to Rigpa Bush Telegraph

The Rigpa Bush Telegraph (BT) is a virtual Rigpa Centre that supports and connects people interested in studying and practising meditation and the Tibetan Buddhist teachings, but who are unable to attend a physical Rigpa centre.

Our community network extends throughout regional and remote Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

Our Bush Telegraph Centre

The Bush Telegraph Centre aims to create a warm and welcoming online sangha environment where people who are not able to attend a Rigpa Centre due to their physical location, family or personal circumstances can meet, study, and practice the dharma.

As well as supporting regional and remote students to connect with national programs, and support them on their spiritual path, we also offer opportunities to connect with other students through online sangha events.
