OUR KEY OBJECTIVES:

To introduce a philosophy of life based on Buddha Dhamma


To encourage the study, practice and realisation of Buddha Dhamma


To provide beings with Buddha Dhamma training


To preserve the Buddha Dhamma at this Temple for at least 500 years

For these purposes teachings are given at our Centre in the Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana and Chan (Zen) traditions. At times, our Centre accommodates Venerable Buddhist Monks and Teachers from other Australian entres and overseas.

WE ARE A LEARNING ORGANISATION

Our Meditation Hall and Library, the John D. Hughes Dhamma Cetiya (Hall of Assembly), where we practice, is both well equipped and of World standard.

Leadership and work skills are learnt at the Centre by Members with attention to the following five styles:

Friendliness

Practicality

Professionalism

Cultural Adaptability

Scholarship

Members employ the five styles as part of their active Buddha Dhamma practice and in a range of Community-based activities, both local and overseas.

WE ARE AN eBUSINESS

To enhance the development of our Centre as a learning organisation, we are an e-working organisation. You are invited to join our e-Task Units to learn these five styles and if you wish apply them to your daily life.

This website is dedicated to Buddha Dhamma Teacher John D. Hughes
