Welcome to the Sydney Buddhist Centre Website
At the Sydney Buddhist Centre in Newtown we offer instruction and practice in Buddhism and Meditation. We are part of a worldwide movement, the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) which was founded in 1967 by the Venerable Sangharakshita. The FWBO has its own unmistakable flavour, a unique approach to the Buddha's teachings which draws upon the entire Buddhist tradition, is founded upon Buddhism's most ancient and essential teachings, and yet expresses itself through modern Western life in a fresh and dynamic way. At the Sydney Buddhist Centre we have been running activities in various locations since 1981. We provide facilities where you can learn meditation, find out about Buddhism and meet people with similar interests. We also provide workshops, retreats and creative activities to help you improve the quality of your life. We offer a friendly, supportive environment to all who are curious to find out more. All meditation and Buddhism teachers at the centre are practising Buddhists who are striving to put the ideals of Buddhism into practice in their daily lives. However the meditation techniques we teach can be used by anyone regardless of their religious background. |
