For many of us, Tibetan Buddhism did not begin in books.

It began through human connection.
Stories.
Teachers.
Moments of kindness, curiosity, and transformation.

This beautiful documentary explores the early roots of Tibetan Buddhism in Australia through rare footage and personal stories from those who helped bring these teachings to the West.

As someone who spent nearly a decade living and studying within the Tibetan Buddhist community in India, this film feels especially meaningful to share.

We'd like to invite you to our latest Workshop!

⭐️ "Why listen to the words of the Buddha?" ⭐️

📍Sunday 31st May from 10am to 12 noon at Tharpa Choeling - Wellington Buddhist Centre

This workshop, written by our Resident Teacher Genla Venerable Thubten Tenzin, will be presented by Venerable Choden in both an interactive format and using a slideshow.

❓️What do the Buddha's words mean to us? How do we resonate with the Buddha's explanations of reality?

Buddha's words were not theories, intellectual understandings or philosophical ideas, they were experiential realisations of facts about reality that are beyond any particular may time, place or culture. So how do we benefit from listening to those words?

We hope you can join us for the workshop followed by shared vegetarian lunch, all welcome!

Cost is by donation. Please message for more information, registration not required, but if you'd like to book in please press the "Message" button to leave your details.
