About us
A wonderful chance to come and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of our your local centre and be introduced to meditation in a supportive environment.
Drop in when you can make it – no booking is necessary – but please arrive a little early to get settled before practice begins.
A short teaching is usually shown during each session for guidance and inspiration. Cushions and chairs are provided.
"Meditation is being increasingly accepted as a practice that cuts through and soars above cultural and religious barriers, and enables those who pursue it to establish a direct contact with the truth of their being.
In the stillness and silence of meditation, we glimpse and return to that deep inner nature that we have so long ago lost sight of amid the busyness and distraction of our minds. Meditation then, is bringing the mind home".

This Life – The Buddha’s guide to inner transformation | Carlton North
803 Nicholson St, Carlton North, VI, AUThe Buddhist spiritual path centres on our own mind’s vast potential for peace, compassion and wisdom. True lasting happiness does not depend on external factors but comes from looking inwards to better know our own mind and heart. This course presents key insights from the Buddha’s life and teachings to show how, through meditation and shifting our focus inwards, we can find true, unending contentment.
This course presents key Buddhist frameworks that guide our path, including:
- The three vehicles of Buddhism, which progressively show how we can nurture our innate peace, compassion and wisdom.
- The four seals, which encapsulate what is unique about the Buddha’s teachings and sets them apart from other religions and philosophies.
Including teachings from foremost Tibetan masters of our time, space for contemplation, reflection and discussion, and guided meditations, this course will give you practical tools to help you work with your mind and take charge of your spiritual path.
