Men's Dharma Study - A meditation and study group for men who are interested in exploring the Dharma more deeply.

Daytime Mandala Group - a natural continuance for those who have enjoyed our daytime classes and are looking for an opportunity to deepen their meditation and understanding of Buddhist practice.

Women's Mitra Study - A meditation and study group for women mitras, by invitation.

11th Step Meditation & Recovery workshop - For people interested in meditation and involved with recovery. No previous experience of meditation is needed.

Open Night: Exploring the Dharma - These evenings (formerly known as Sangha Nights) offer an opportunity to gather with others, meditate and learn about Buddhism. They usually start with a group meditation, followed by a short tea break, and then a period of discussion exploring a particular facet of Buddhism.

Full Moon Puja - Buddhist Devotional Practice

Puja is a devotional practice which involves reciting verses, chanting mantras and making offerings (candles and incense). On most of these evenings we will be practicing a seven-fold puja based on Shantideva's "Bodhicaryavatara," which is a very famous Mahayana Buddhist text. On some evenings, we will have special pujas. All are welcome. Contact us on 02 9519 0440 for more information.

Cost: By Donation.

Beginners' Led Practice: The beginners' unled practice sessions require no prior experience, and are fully led.

Unled Practice: At the unled practices, some of the regular people around our mandala simply meditate together, as friends, at the centre. Please call the centre in advance if you are coming for the first time. There is no instruction, so it is important that you have already learned meditation.
