A Vibrant Community

We have been offering courses in meditation, mindfulness and Buddhism in a friendly, supportive environment for more than 35 years. Our teachers are practising Buddhists who strive to incorporate the ideals of Buddhism into daily life.

We are part of a worldwide movement: The Triratna Buddhist Community. Triratna draws on the entire Buddhist tradition and expresses itself in a fresh and dynamic way.

Funded by Generosity

Our community is based on dāna, the Sanskrit term for generosity – people giving their time and energy to create something together.

We charge minimal amounts for our activities and aim to offer them open-handedly. We’re able to do this because so many people generously give money and time to establish and maintain everything we enjoy at the Sydney Buddhist Centre.

Upcoming Events & Retreats
