Buddhist Summer School

A rich tapestry of traditions and practices has been woven by various Asian cultures around the essence of the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, who lived 2,500 years ago. The enduring nature of Buddhism is symptomatic of its purity and integrity as a spiritual discipline and remains contemporary in its methods of self development. Over the past several decades, Westerners have begun to learn from, and participate in, this diversity and essence.

As part of its commitment to disseminate the Buddhist teachings, Kagyü E-Vam Buddhist Institute conducts the annual Buddhist Summer School as a vehicle of enquiry and learning. The popularity of the Buddhist Summer School is an indication of the developing range and depth of interest in Buddhism among Australians. This is reflected in enrolments of over 20,000 since the inception of the event in 1984. In acknowledgment of this, we continue to host distinguished Buddhist scholars and teachers from around Australia and overseas.

This twenty-fourth Buddhist Summer School offers a stimulating variety of courses in both theoretical and experiential Buddhism, meditation instruction based on a number of traditions, as well as courses of a comparative nature and hagiography.
