Alain Beauregard

Alain Beauregard

Alain Beauregard is a Rigpa senior teacher as well as a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism since 1995. He is a physicist by training and lives in Montreal. Alain has been teaching healing internationally since 2011, based on his own healing story.

At the age of 46, Alain was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic bladder cancer which was inoperable and had spread to such a point that his doctors said he was incurable. In less than 3 months of receiving chemotherapy combined with working on the emotional cause of disease and doing spiritual healing practices, his cancer went into complete remission. Alain has been cancer-free to this date.

This life-changing experience inspired Alain to give public talks and workshops about the powerful tools that Tibetan Buddhism offers to deepen our perspective on illness and introduce us to a spiritual approach to healing that considers our entire being, not just the body.
