Navigating Buddhism & Science: Journey or Destination?
Navigating Buddhism & Science: Journey or Destination?
What can 2,500 years of striving for Buddhist enlightenment tell us about mental health in the 21st century? Is there a place for science in the path to enlightenment and a place for Buddhist views in the scientific attempt to understand the mind? Is happiness and wellbeing a journey or destination? Corey Jackson is back to talk more about the ongoing conversation between Buddhism and science. (Fifth in a 9-week series with Corey Jackson, IN-PERSON & ONLINE)

Welcome to
Langri Tangpa Centre!
Langri Tangpa Centre is a teaching and meditation centre in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. We provide a friendly and supportive environment for learning and putting into practice the teachings of the Buddha. Langri Tangpa Centre was founded in 1982, and run entirely by volunteers.
Our centre is located on the southside of Brisbane. We hold classes both in-person and online. All our events are by donation (we don’t ever want financial considerations to be the reason you cannot come!) Your contribution ensures that Langri Tangpa Centre can continue to flourish, offer classes, host visiting teachers, and cover running costs.
At LTC we embrace diversity and equal opportunity with respect to race, religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, sexual orientation, and physical abilities. There is no need to be a Buddhist to attend and benefit from our courses. We encourage questioning and open dialogue, and welcome everyone with an interest in making their life happy, helpful and full of meaning. Feel free to join a class, even if we are part way through the course.
We Support the Uluru Statement
Langri Tangpa Centre supports the establishment of a First Nations Voice to parliament, to be enshrined in the Australian Constitution. Join Langri Tangpa Centre in saying YES to truly recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in the Constitution and be part of creating a better future. More on a Buddhist perspective on The Voice.
LTC created Australia’s 2,500th street library in 2019. Since then we have freely offered over 400 books from our little glowing gem of happiness in the garden!
