Welcome to Golden Buddha Centre

Important Announcement:

As many people know, over the past year we have been engaged in drawing up plans and getting consent to extend the Golden Buddha Centre hall. We are now in a position to go ahead with the work of creating an upper storey to the building and improving the general facilities. The Centre will therefore be temporarily closed at the end of May for several months.

In the meantime, events will continue as advertised up to the end of this month.

Some Forthcoming Events

The Way of the Bodhisattva

With Geshe Lobsang Thinley

Geshe Thinley will give teachings based on the famous work 'The Way of the Bodhisattva' (Bodhicharyavatara) composed by the Indian scholar, Shantideva.

This work is one of the great classics of Tibetan Buddhism and is presented in the form of a personal meditation. It is an exposition of the path of the bodhisattvas, those beings who vow to work for the benefit of all beings.

There will be a break for tea and an opportunity for questions.
