About the Program

"Discovering the Buddha Within" is a three-year experiential Dharma path designed to make the essence of the Buddha's teachings accessible and applicable to modern life.

Level 1, Inner Peace, introduces core foundations through the lens of View, Meditation, and Application. The teachings draw from the Shravakayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions, and emphasise direct experience through practices such as shamatha (calm abiding) and vipashyana (insight). A commitment to attend all 3 years is NOT necessary

The program is:

• Open to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike
  
  

• Supported by monthly review sessions (online and in person)
  
  

• Backed by an online learning platform (Sherab.org)
