Getting started with the Rigpa Shedra Wiki

The Rigpa Shedra Wiki is an online encyclopedia and media library for the Rigpa sangha. You can use this Wiki to look for information on a topic. You can also create a user account and then add new entries or edit an existing entry. (Note that all entries are subject to review 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.
