About Us
A practice home in the Drikung Kagyu lineage.
Our Mission
We are a Drikung Kagyu Buddhist centre dedicated to preserving and transmitting the authentic teachings of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. Our centre offers a welcoming space for practitioners of all levels — from those just beginning to explore meditation to those engaged in long-term retreat practice.
Through regular teachings, pujas, and community gatherings, we aim to foster genuine spiritual development rooted in compassion, wisdom, and the guidance of qualified teachers.
Our work extends beyond formal practice to embrace acts of service — supporting the sick, the dying, and the bereaved through ceremony, prayer, and pastoral care.
Our History
Our centre was founded with the blessing of the Drikung Kagyu lineage holders, establishing a sanctuary where the Dharma could be practised and shared in this region. Since its founding, the centre has grown from a small meditation group into a fully functioning temple community.
Over the years, we have hosted numerous visiting teachers, organised retreats, and served thousands of practitioners and their families in times of both celebration and difficulty.
Our Values
- Compassion — meeting all beings with an open heart
- Wisdom — applying the teachings of the Buddha to everyday life
- Community — building a sangha of mutual support and practice
- Authenticity — maintaining an unbroken transmission from qualified teachers
- Service — extending the benefit of practice to family, society, and all sentient beings
