Weekly Buddhism Study Group
Buddhist Psychology
Each Sunday, 9 am to 10 am
(AEDT)
On Sundays, beginning 9 Nov, 2025, we are studying Vajrayana (the principles of the five wisdom energies, guru yoga, self-liberation, and pure perception), beginning with a six week course on the Essence of Vajrayana. In 2026, we take a more in-depth look at Vajrayana in a follow-on course called Blueprints of Awakening. Please feel free to join us at any stage along this course.
Vajrayana is known as the most direct path to awakening — profound and powerful, yet often misunderstood. We will explore the underlying principles, or blueprints, of Vajrayana practice, revealing how even the most challenging emotions and obstacles can become fuel for awakening when seen clearly.
For the first time, Mingyur Rinpoche will guide us through the transformative system of the five wisdom energies—a profound Buddhist framework for recognising your true nature and transforming even the most afflicted states into wisdom qualities.
The basic format for each Sunday is :
opening aspirations
teachings
a guided meditation or reflection
discussion and sharing
closing dedications
REGISTRATION
Attendance is free, though donations are warmly welcome and accepted here.
Selected online course material from Vajrayana Online is presented. While not required, a Vajrayana Online subscription is highly recommended to supplement study and practice with this program. It is also needed if volunteering to facilitate.
