Most of the teachings in the main archive are only viewable by members except for the Public Talks.

However, most of the short teachings in the Topics section are viewable without membership.

The teachings on the website are given freely.

However, storing and delivering such a huge amount of media like this requires a professional cloud based system. Each time a video or audio file is played, we have to pay for that delivery. Therefore the membership payments go towards that. A donation based system might also work, but we decided that it is too unpredictable given the costs we have to meet each month.

Therefore paid membership is crucial for the survival of the website.

If you feel that you are unable to pay for membership, please contact us and we will review the possibilities.

All three membership types are the same. The only difference is how much you are able to offer in support of the website.

Each membership is an annual subscription which renews automatically each year for a period of 3 years. Then you have the choice to renew it again.

But your subscription can be stopped at any time via your membership account page.

Many teachings in this archive are broadly classified as belonging to the Vajrayana, the highest level of Buddhist practice and understanding.

These teachings are available for students who have received Vajrayana (or Mahamudra, Dzogchen, or similar) teachings either from Ringu Tulku or another qualified teacher.

All members can freely activate the ‘Vajrayana Membership’ by checking the box at the bottom of the ‘Vajrayana Membership‘ section of their account and clicking the ‘Save Change’ button.

If when trying to view a teaching you see a red slide with the message “Please login to view this teaching” it means one of three things:

1. You are not a member of the website and will therefore need to become one to view that particular teaching.
2. You are a member of the website but are currently not logged in to your account. To do that you just click the red LOGIN tab at the top right of this page.
3. You are a member of the website but you have cancelled your subscription or it has expired. Please visit your ACCOUNT page to find out more.

We currently allow members to download audio files only. To do that you just need to click on the download icon to the right of each audio file.

However, in some cases, there are existing third party copyright terms which apply to a recording. In these cases the audio recordings will not be available for download and you will not see the download icon.

In the main Archive section of the website you will see the Archive Navigation to the right of the page. This is the best way to find something by name, date, location etc. The more you can add here the more precise your results. You can also search by using one or many words by typing your text into the top where is says “Enter keywords here”.

If you find you have entered in too many options you can always just hit the Clear All text at the bottom of the Archive Navigation to reset it.

You can also change how your results appear by selecting different viewing options from the drop down selector called “Organise Results by:”. You will find this at the top of the results page.

Starting from April 2020 (and prompted by the Covid19 pandemic) Rinpoche began giving live teachings, also known as ‘Webinars’ depending on the method used to deliver the teaching.

In general live teachings are live events that are streamed one-way over the internet like a television broadcast (also known as a ‘webcast’ or ‘live stream’).

Webinars are interactive versions of a webcast where attendees can interact with Rinpoche by asking questions live.

Our webinars currently use the Zoom app as a medium and these events generally take place in a Zoom Webinar environment. Sometimes we also live stream, the zoom event back to the Archive for passive viewing, but it depends on the type of teaching.

We offer free membership to the monastic sangha and individuals in particularly difficult financial circumstances. To apply for that please contact us using the form fields below.

Yes. All memberships include a free 7 day trial.

Simply go to the Membership page and choose the membership you would like.

As membership is an annual subscription you will need to add in your payment details when signing up. But you won’t be charged until the end of the trial period. You can cancel your subscription at any time during the 7 days at no charge.

Each membership is an annual subscription which renews automatically each year, but your subscription can be stopped at any time via your membership account page.

3. In your account area, click on the ‘Subscriptions‘ tab

If you have spotted some incorrect info on a teaching page you can leave a comment at the bottom of that page to help us with the correction. If you need more space, just use the contact form instead.

That’s great. That is something we very much encourage and need. If possible, please post a comment containing your text at the bottom of that teaching page. If you need more space, just use the contact form instead. Please let us know the title of the teaching you are referring to and also a link to it.

By default, the teachings are shown in the order they are added to the website. Not by the date they were actually recorded. So if we suddenly get a batch of recordings from 1999, they will appear at the top above anything recorded last month.

To change it to the most recent recordings, go to the main Archive section. At the top of all the teachings you will see the text “Organise Results by:”. Click on the selector beside that and chose “Date Newset-Oldest”.

Besides using the main Archive Navigation in the sidebar, much of the teaching text is hyperlinked (highlighted in red).

For example, if you are looking at a particular teaching from France and want to see more teachings that were recorded in France, you can just click the red text that says “France” in the teaching description area. That will then display all recordings from France.

At the bottom of every teaching in the ‘Feedback’ box there is a ‘Upload Images’ button you can click to upload your images from a teaching.

Sometimes Rinpoche specifically requests that we only make a particular teaching available to people that were actually in attendance at that teaching. You will know when you come across one of these and there will be instructions on the screen about how you can apply for access if you were there.
