“Each bardo is a chance to experience the uncontrived liberation of our own true nature.

Ri-mé Institute at a glance Rime (pronounced Re-meh) teaches the view of harmony within all Buddhist traditions and respect for all spiritual traditions. In addition, it introduces the extremely precious, rare and unique Jonang Kalachakra Tantra lineage teachings in the western world, with the hope that these will flourish. In the western world we already have a very extensive education system which gives us a good understanding of the external world. However, there is very limited opportunity to learn how to control our thoughts and emotions and master the inner world. If we engage in this type of training, it can give us powerful inner strength and a deep level of happiness, which is independent of outside circumstances. For those who already have a solid foundation in Buddhism, the institute provides authentic Mahayana and Vajrayana teachings and opportunities for retreat. Our main goal is to propagate on the Kalachackra Tantra, which we are very privileged to be able to share.
