Tharpa Choeling - Wellington Buddhist Centre

Buddhist centre located in Wellington NSW Australia. We run meditation sessions, Buddhist and secular workshops and Yoga and Tai Chi classes

We have been teaching meditation and Buddhism in Wellington New South Wales since 2007 and in the central west since 2001. At our new centre, set in the grounds of a former garden centre, we offer meditation, Buddhist workshops, with many more activities planned for the future. Tharpa Choeling was named by Venerable Geshe Thubten Dawa, a highly respected Tibetan master in the Gelug Buddhist tradition. Geshe Dawa's main teacher is the 15th Lab Kyabgon Rinpoche. We hold His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama as the head of our lineage.

We're very grateful to Shaun and Alicia Rodriguez Leggett who donated a Peace Pole to Tharpa Choeling - Wellington Buddhist Centre which was installed today - International Day of Peace!

🙏🙏🙏

The Peace Pole is one of over 1,000 planted across Australia!

🕊 🕊 🕊

The Peace Pole movement was started in Japan by the visionary Masahisa Goi.

He was deeply distressed by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Instantly killing an estimated 200,000 people.

In 1955 he began a mission to spread this simple message: May Peace Prevail On Earth.

🕊 🕊 🕊

Please come and visit any Sunday afternoon!!!
