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.
In the Heart of Newtown
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
In addition to our regular classes and courses, we also host other special events at our centre in Newtown and run retreats at Vijayaloka Retreat Centre just outside of Sydney.
