Buddhist Society of Western Australia The Power of the Individual | Dr Brian Walker | 29 August 2025
Dr Brian Walker has practised medicine for many years in many different countries, before finally settling into practice as a GP in Serpentine Medical Centre. He has front-line experience treating patients in hospitals, emergency departments and general practice. If you are familiar with the book Dying to be Be, which detailed the near death expeirence by Anita Moorjani, it should be noted that Dr Walker was Anita’s GP in Hong Kong. She met up with him in the United States a few years ago and did a beautiful interview which is available on Youtube. Dr Walker is also a member of the Legislative Council in the Parliament of Western Australia for the Legalise Cannabis Party.
Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it’s a time for deepening their own practice. While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk.
Dust in Our Eyes 2025 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series 2025) Hear stories of everyday dhamma as told by monastics and lay practitioners from various Buddhist traditions.
