The purpose of The Australian Association of Buddhist Counsellors and Psychotherapists (AABCAP) is to bring therapists together in order to discuss, learn and study the two disciplines of psychotherapy and Buddhism, with the purpose of integrating their experience and knowledge into daily life and their work. The intention is that we all benefit from the depth of Buddhist psychology; it’s philosophy, ethics and contemplative practices. There is much to benefit us, as well as others, in our attempt to integrate Western Psychotherapy with Eastern Buddhism.

🗣️ And Then the Buddha Said: A Dialectical Approach to Early Buddhism
📅 Online Program | July 9–30, 2025
with Bhikkhu Sujato
💛 Offered by donation

What happens when we stop asking what the Buddha taught—and begin to explore how he taught?

In this four-week online program, Bhikkhu Sujato brings the Buddha’s dialogues to life, showing how the Buddha engaged with the concerns of his time—and how we can carry that wisdom into ours. Through close sutta readings and rich discussion, we’ll uncover the Buddha’s sharp intellect, compassion, and skill as a teacher.

Each week includes a new set of suttas (different from last year’s!) and a live session. No prior study required.

🧘‍♂️ Offered in the spirit of dana.
