Discovering Buddhism
Awakening the limitless potential of your mind, achieving all peace and happiness.
The core of the Langri Tangpa Centre program is this in-depth three year course. This program is not designed just as an academic study of Buddhism but is intended to change a person’s life. More than just intellectual study, the Discovering Buddhism course creates a community of students who grow together supporting each other in their practice and understanding.
The Discovering Buddhism course is made up of 14 modules of study and retreat covering the Buddhist path in a systematic way. Each module is completed over two months of weekly classes. This gives you time to study, practice and integrate each new subject at a comfortable pace, building a comprehensive base of knowledge and skills.
You can join this three-year course at the beginning of any module. You don’t have to wait until module one to become part of the program! People often join once they have completed several of the beginner’s Buddhism courses. You can also do the Discovering Buddhism modules at other FPMT centres throughout Australia, including our sister centre, Chenrezig Institute, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
We hold these courses during both day and evening time slots:
- Tuesday mornings (10.30 am – 12 pm)
- Wednesday evenings (7 pm – 8.30 pm)
Courses generally run for 8 weeks of weekly teachings, plus a review, a DVD on the topic, and the associated integration activities between each course. Please check the calendar for information on which module we are up to.
This course is best suited to the committed beginner, or people who has already completed a beginner’s Buddhism course or two. If you are unsure whether you are ready for Discovering Buddhism, we invite you to come along and sit in on a class to see if it suits you.
