FRI 1 MAY 2026 – PUBLIC TALK: BUDDHIST PERSPECTIVE ON THE CURRENT WORLD SITUATION – 7pm-9pm (AEST)

Often with  a change in circumstance there is an immediate and obvious happening, which people point the finger at and say, ‘This is what caused all these problems.’ But with the present situation in the world historians would point to many causes in history that have led to the present situation.Buddhists would agree but point to three main causes: Greed, Hatred and Ignorance.

SAT 2 MAY 2026 – VAJRASATTVA EMPOWERMENT + TEACHING – 9am-5pm (AEST)

People are disempowered by illness, fear of losing loved ones and unconsciously resort to self-blame and hopelessness. One of the famous Buddhist practices to deal with these problems is the Vajrassatva meditation with seven profound creative visualisations. Vajrasattva is the primordial Buddha of purity, and its profound practice can cleanse and purify all negativities. One can only learn this practice from a qualified Tibetan Buddhist Lama by receiving an empowerment and oral transmission. This is one practice you will treasure for the rest of your life.

SUN 3 MAY 2026 – WHITE TARA EMPOWERMENT + TEACHING – Sunday 9am-5pm (AEST)

Everyone wishes to live long and stay healthy. The length of lifespan is determined by positive stock of good deeds, words and thoughts. Good diet and exercise are important but the knowledge how to cultivate intelligent emotions is even more important. White Tara is the manifestation of intelligent and enlightened qualities, the ultimate potential that lies dormant within…(which allows) you to move beyond personal limitations, suffering, fears, and restrictions. White Tara is the goddess of rejuvenation and wisdom. Its empowerment and meditation will truly empower you to new heights of right livelihood.
