The Vihara conducts public lectures to impart basic knowledge of Buddha's teaching embodied in the Tripitaka texts. These texts are widely referred to as the Pali Canon because they are in Pali, an ancient Indian language that was spoken by Buddha. Weekly evening classes are held at the Vihara for study and discussion of fundamental theory and practice of Theravada Buddhism.

These classes are open to those who seek either an overview or an intimate knowledge of Buddhism. Current schedules are available at Vihara. The Vihara holds Dhamma school (Sunday School) for children on Sundays from 8.00am to 10.00 am. A basic knowledge of Budddhism for children is taught in English. Parents are welcome to bring children of any age.
