MITRA Conference - Buddhism Un-Plugged

Find the meaning of life with Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, find out from Sarah Napthali how Buddhism applies to families, explore the spiritual journey of Reverend Master Heng Sure, solve everyday problems with Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron and hear the humour of Ajahn Brahm.

The MITRA Youth Buddhist Network has held a Buddhist conference each year in July for the past six years.  In 2010, the MITRA Conference will run alongside the Buddhism Expo on the first weekend in May.

With a full conference program incorporating a range of international and local speakers and topics, this event is jam-packed with inspiration, challenge and practical advice.

Speakers this year will challenge, inspire and teach with a line-up from around the world as well as top leaders from Australia.
