Timeless Wisdom for Your Life.
With the help of the monks, you will learn ancient Buddhist wisdom you can apply to your life today. Although the Buddha lived and taught in India 2,500 years ago, the truths he discovered are still true today. We still have greed, hatred, and delusions. The techniques the Buddha taught to overcome these problems still work. When the mind is free from these problems, all that’s left is peace and happiness.

We are very lucky to be living in a time when the original, ancient teachings of the Buddha are still available to us. The Buddha explained that there are four steps we need to follow to achieve the goal of true happiness:
1. to associate with good people who know the teachings of the Buddha and are trying to follow them.
2. to listen carefully to those teachings.
3. to reflect wisely on those teachings and apply them to our lives.
4. to put those teachings into practice and lead our lives according to their instructions. (SN 55:5)

We have many ways for you to learn the teachings of the Buddha.
