Alain Beauregard is a physicist and high-tech entrepreneur. He has been a Rigpa student since 1995 and engaged in Rigpa Canada activities since 1998, including acting as a simultaneous translator of live teachings for various events in North America.

At the age of 46, Alain’s life changed dramatically with the discovery of an advanced stage 4 metastatic bladder cancer, incurable according to medicine. However, through the power of prayer and the healing practices of Tibetan Buddhism, the chemotherapy treatments he received were extremely effective, and a complete cure was achieved in four months, against all odds. Alain’s story inspired the French-language radio series ‘Vivre Autrement’ on Radio-Canada.

Alain has been teaching internationally on healing since 2011 and is currently the president of Rigpa Canada. He hosts lectures, weekends and retreats on the emotional and spiritual approach to healing, based on the Buddhist teachings and his own healing experience.
