Enjoy Social Events with Universal Meaning

Mindful families, sutra road-trips to the beach and to animal shelters to bless the animals, and game nights to lead us to enlightenment!

We hold regular art workshops once a month, which have contributed to our spectacular library decorations. Helene Holland, who runs these events, decorated our Street Library that won the Australian 2021 Street Library of the year!

Game nights with a difference – Buddhist board games that illustrate in glorious detail the road to liberation and enlightenment! Rebirth – the Tibetan Game of Liberation is a favourite, like an extremely complex snakes and ladders. From Afflictions to Perfections was invented and created right here at LTC by Miffi Maxmillion, and is a little like Monopoly for Buddhists.

“I especially love the thangka painting classes which LTC runs. They provide a great insight into Tibetan Buddhism and are always full of friendly, like-minded artists.”

“I was fortunate to attend the ‘Death over Dinner’ evening hosted by Ven. Trin-la. The evening was most enjoyable. Trin- la was a fantastic hostess, the food was absolutely delicious and the company delightful. It was great to attend a dinner party and talk about a totally different topic. Thank you for organising a wonderful night.”

“How fortunate we were to have the privilege of attending the Mindful Families classes over the past 2 years. It was a fantastic way to share Buddhism learnings with my children and brought us so much joy and peace. We learned to be kinder and more compassionate humans with practical techniques to cope with life’s challenges. Thank you to everyone who supports the beacon of light that is the Centre.”

Activities in this series

Because to sustain our study we need joy in the heart!

  • Meditative Art is the perfect introvert’s activity – and you don’t need any artistic talent to enjoy it!
  • Dharma games are an innovative type of exam – where our karma asks the questions by selecting the cards!
  • Sutra road trips are a great combination of creating merit and enjoying a rare social moment with Dharma buddies.
