Getting started with the Rigpa Shedra Wiki

The Rigpa Shedra Wiki is an online reference for the Rigpa sangha. It is like an encyclopedia, where you can find information on a wide range of topics. You can use this Wiki to look for information on a topic, and you can also edit the entry for a topic or add a new topic. (Note that all entries will be reviewed by the Wiki editors.)

Readers

To find information on a topic, you can:

• Enter the topic name in the search box at left, and click Search.
• Click Categories at left to view all categories on the wiki.

Note: a second experimental search box searches all sites of our friends, but note that Google did not yet sufficiently index this wiki - to search the Rigpa Shedra Wiki, use the upper search box.
