Vairochana Buddhist Centre also offers a number of Buddhist courses including half-day courses, full day courses and weekend retreats.
Buddha explained how all our problems and suffering arise from confused and negative states of mind, and how all our happiness and good fortune arise from peaceful and positive states of mind. In our courses we teach methods for gradually overcoming our negative minds such as anger, stress and worry, and how to develop our positive minds such as love, compassion and wisdom. Through this we can come to experience lasting peace and happiness.
The courses are held at Vairochana Buddhist Centre and explain different aspects of Buddhism for those wishing to find out more about Buddhist thought and practice.
