Testimonials from Understanding Buddhism Students "I find that my comprehension of Buddhist teachings has increased since starting the Understanding Buddhism course. I see many Dharma books that I had read, in a different light - I find many things I vaguely understood or missed completely, now make sense. This is very beneficial, Understanding Buddhism is an integral part of my Buddhist practice and studies". Daniel, Orange NSW. "When i started the course I knew quite a bit about Buddhism and thought the course would enhance that, by the time I was half way through I realized I knew very little about anything, Buddhism, Universe & Myself. Then by the final stages I came to an awakening where i could ask myself questions and question everything". Charmaine, Bathurst NSW. "I really enjoyed the Aussie feel to the course and the usage of common Australian language". Zaric, WA |
