Notes and Events:

Chenrezig Institute is a centre for Buddhist study, meditation, retreat, and practice nestled in the foothills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Queensland, Australia.

Established in 1974 Chenrezig Institute was the first Tibetan Buddhist centre in the Western World and remains one of the largest.

Today, the Institute is home to a Tibetan Geshe (Lama), a large community of ordained Sangha (nuns and monks), students, residents, volunteers, retreatants, and guests. 

Apart from the formal study programmes, Chenrezig Institute is a peaceful, calm and relaxing place to spend a few hours, days or weeks. Stroll along the bush paths, wander in the formal garden, sip espresso in the café, have a vegetarian meal, drop in for a meditation class or teaching, or just sit and listen to life.

Dhammalaya advocates for a vision of Buddhism that is deeply contemplative, trans-sectarian and critically-engaged with our world, relevant to the needs of this time and place and beyond.  Drawing on authentic texts and practice traditions across Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana lineages, our Dhamma study and practice is embedded within an all-encompassing View that transcends boundaries.  This is actualised in a rigorous and comprehensive Path to the Fruition of awakening as taught by the Buddha.
