I have worked as a teacher, therapist and counselor with children and teens with special needs, for over 15 years. Being associated with WCCL has been a transformative experience for me. I have completed three certificate programs offered by WCCL – Applied Buddhist Psychology and Ethics (ABPE), Way of the Bodhisattva (WOTB) and Certificate in …
I attended the Applied Mahayana Buddhist Psychology and Ethics course in 2011 when it was first introduced in Pune University. I was going through a bad phase and out of sheer desperation decided to do this course to see if it helped me. From the first day I was hooked. Asha is a superb teacher …
As students of Kendriya Vidyalaya school we would often sing community songs during morning Assembly. One of the songs that I most enjoyed was “Bharat ka Swarnim Gaurav Kendriya Vidyalaya Layega….Takshila, Nalanda ka itiha laut kar Aauega…”.

बुद्ध मूलभूत पद्धतीने समजावा,अभ्यासावा अशी खुप वर्षांपासूनची इच्छा होती. बुद्धाविषयीची मिथकं, त्याचं सामाजिक-राजकीय महत्व माहित होतं. आणि त्यामुळे ओढा अधिकच होता.

Doing the ABPE course has been one of the best decisions of my life. It opened my heart and mind in ways I did not imagine was possible.

This course has transformed my thought process and impacted my life positively. Asha’s style of teaching is so refreshing, so warm and inviting unlike how we usually learn at schools.

I cherish the chance to return to the class and learn and re-learn as well …
