Why is the Dalai Lama always happy and smiling — how does he do it?
This taster course will introduce you to the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism and give you an insight into the Buddhist world view.
During the weekend we will explore:
- The Buddhist approach to happiness
- How karma operates in our relationships and day to day lives
- Buddhist practices that can be used to develop qualities such as loving kindness, compassion & patience
- Meditation techniques to transform the mind and overcome difficult emotions
This course is ideal for anyone wanting to develop a more peaceful mind, deepen their
understanding of the spiritual path and learn practical skills using a Buddhist approach to everyday challenges.
Strongly experiential, the weekend will involve discussion, meditation and an open,
relaxed environment to explore any questions you have.

I am not able to attend the weekend course in July and wondered if you could tell me when you are going to hold another weeekend, perhaps closer to the latter part of the year.
Thanks

Hi Kim,
Thank you for your enquiry. At this stage we are not planning to run another “Intro to Buddhism” course until next year. Keep checking the website though for other courses coming up later in the year.

Hi, I too was hoping to attend a weekend session at another time this year, I’ll keep checking the website in case the demand is great and you are able to provide another session :)
Hi, I’ll add my voice to Lea and Kim in seeking another opportunity to attend this course. Would Karuna consider scheduling an extra one later this year rather than next year if there was sufficient interest? Thanks, John.
Great news! Due to the great interest in running another Introduction to Buddhism course later in the year I am pleased to let you all know that we have now set another date. The next course will be run on the weekend of the 17th & 18th of November. Please contact Stephanie at Karuna on 3632 8300 to book your place.
