Buddhist Education Centre

The Buddhist Education Centre conducts courses, classes and retreats based on Buddhist Teachings and meditation which offer practical and effective methods to improve the quality of our life and develop inner happiness and fulfillment.

We help and support people to bring the richness and wisdom of Buddhist Teachings and practice into their lives and welcome those who wish to learn and practice the Buddhist Path.

We are an Associated Institution of the World Buddhist University and a Member of the Buddhist Council of Victoria. Our multilingual reference library houses a large collection of books for Buddhist Scholars and practitioners which embrace all Buddha’s Teachings.

Online and Onsite Courses

The Buddhist Education Centre offers onsite and online Dhamma courses and classes including regular Introduction to Buddhism courses based on the book “Bringing Wisdom To Life” which was first published by our centre in 2018.

Our Centre conducts five onsite retreat courses each year of various durations up to five days. Each retreat focuses on one main topic for the daily teaching sessions as well as various Buddhist practices to develop calmness, brightness and clarity in our mental state. These retreats are a great way to develop our mindfulness, wholesome energy and beneficial mental qualities which will contribute to and support our wellbeing and happiness in our daily lives.

Regular weekly teachings and practice sessions are held at the centre on Saturday evenings and on the last Saturday of each month. Children’s classes are run over three terms during the year.
