Buddhist Education Centre

The Buddhist Education Centre conducts courses, classes and retreats based on Buddhist Teachings and meditation which offer practical and effective methods to improve the quality of our life and develop inner happiness and fulfillment.

We help and support people to bring the richness and wisdom of Buddhist Teachings and practice into their lives and welcome those who wish to learn and practice the Buddhist Path.

We are an Associated Institution of the World Buddhist University and a Member of the Buddhist Council of Victoria. Our multilingual reference library houses a large collection of books for Buddhist Scholars and practitioners which embrace all Buddha’s Teachings.

  • To introduce a philosophy of life based on Buddha Dhamma
