About Us
wisdom Meditation Centre is based in Panchkula, Northern India. Our aim is to build a meditation/retreat centre in the foothills of the Indian Himalayan mountains, and offer various forms of meditation and wellness practices in a beautiful and serene setting. We also aim to provide healthy vegetarian/vegan food, cooked by local chefs using local produce.
This project is being guided by Karma Yeshe Rabgye, a Buddhist Monk, who is based in England. He teaches Mindfulness, Buddhist philosophy and meditation all over the world. Although Yeshe learnt from the great Tibetan Buddhist masters in exile, his Western background forced him to question some difficult elements of the teachings, in particular, to distinguish those teachings that were essential aspects of the path from those that were mere cultural embellishments. His books The Best Way to Catch a Snake and Life’s Meandering Path stem from this questioning. His third book, Ripples in the Stream, is a collection of 50 of his most popular blog posts. Yeshe spent several years in a monastery in the foothills of the Himalayas teaching young monks basic Buddhist philosophy and meditation. He now offers teachings freely to people all over the world in a manner that is unpretentious and clear. He does not demand students to blindly accept what he says, but instead invites them to examine their own minds and experiences to discover the validity of Gautama Buddha’s teachings. Using everyday examples, he has the ability to bring the teachings alive, particularly to a younger audience seeking to make Buddhism relevant in their lives. His approachable manner has attracted many students who appreciate his sense of humour and practical advice. Yeshe has also travelled extensively teaching mindfulness in schools to administrators, teachers, students and parents. His teaching is secular and includes both theory and practical exercises. He has also devised a very simple technique called Breath-Focus-Reflect (The B-F-R classroom), which teachers use to implement mindfulness into classrooms.
