 with Jampa Gendun, Saturday, May 10, 9 am - 4 pm
Every moment of our lives we choose between positive and negative actions to fulfill our aims, and such actions will inevitably lead either to happiness or suffering. If we could understand how to act in a way that will bring us happiness instead of suffering, we will be able to move towards the state of nirvana, perfect happiness.
This day will consist of talks, guided meditations and discussion, and is suited to all.

A series of talks on Friday evenings, presented by western scholars who will explore their work through Buddhist eyes.
The Wheel Of Life
Fridays 7.30 - 9.30 pm May 16, 23, 30; June 6, 27; July 4, 11, 25; August 1, 8
 The first lecturer is Pamela Lyon, who completed a PhD at the Australian National University in 2006 with a thesis that tested the Buddhist proposition that all sentient beings have minds, using contemporary scientific evidence. This work was directly inspired by study of the 12 Links of Dependent Origination at the Central Institute for Higher Tibetan Studies in Sarnath.
The course presents the 12 Links according to the Gelukpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism but within the context of current science (e.g., physics, biology, psychology, neuroscience). The effectiveness of this Buddhist teaching is nowhere more clearly demonstrated than in its consilience with knowledge emerging from the sciences right now.

 Block out your Saturday night, Buddha House has a new event!
Saturday evenings fortnightly: 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm
Every fortnight there will be a gathering for young adults, where we will explore how culture shapes our minds, feelings and world view. Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhism we will discuss how to live life more meaningfully; as young people it's often hard to incorporate our spiritual practice into our daily activities and this group will offer the perfect opportunity to share ideas and stories about our own thoughts and experiences.
Cost: $5 entry, gold coin for chai
Program:
May 10 - movie, introductions, getting to know
May 24 - art and mind
June 7 - Buddhism and Western Knowledge
June 21 - storytelling and performance

 Every first and third Saturday at Buddha House: 2.30 pm to 4 pm
This will suit those who might be interested in the meaning of those very foreign words we recite together at the beginning and at the end of every teaching of our dear Geshe Pema Tsering. We will also be going through some other key words that, I hope, will allow students to at least recognise which topic the Geshe is approaching at a given time.

In the past it has been FPMT policy to not provide comment or political actions on regarding the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Such actions were left for individuals to pursue. Due to the incredibly serious and urgent nature of recent events in Tibet, Lama Zopa Rinpoche has now reversed this position.
Please click the "Click to read more" link below to read an official statement from Lama Zopa Rinpoche - Spiritual Director of the FPMT regarding this matter.

Buddha House
Buddha House is extremely fortunate to have our own precious Geshe Pema Tsering who faultlessly teaches and lives the Buddha’s teachings. In this article, Geshela kindly tells his remarkable life story…
Tuesdays at 7.15 pm with Geshe Pema Tsering - The Way of the Bodhisattva by the great 8th century Buddhist master Shantideva, is the clearest and most comprehensive text ever written on how to become a Bodhisattva and implement these trainings in our daily lives. For the past 1200 years it has formed the basis of Mahayana Buddhist practice in India & Tibet.
