Notes and Events:

Reverend Uttam Barua was born in Chittagon, Bangladesh. He joined the Monastic order as a Buddhist monk at the age of 12. After completing high school and serving the community, he was forced to flee to India due to unfortunate circumstances and ill treatment of his life. In 1994, he received a royal scholarship which is arranged by Ajahn Sumedo for higher Buddhist Studies that took him to Thailand. Upon his graduation, Reverend Uttam Barua moved back to India where he worked in the rural development project in Northeast India and Bangladesh. Access to education women’s health, and HIV was his main focus. 
In 2006, he was invited by the Ambedkar Mission in Toronto, where he would begin working with the Canadian Societies and ethnic groups. He also established a community center in the greater Toronto area.
In 2012, Reverend Uttam Barua was invited to Regina and chose to remain here until today. He saw that Regina was a place where he could help people who come from North and South Asia, and in the surrounding area of Saskatchewan.
Since his stay in Regina, he immediately engaged himself with the multi-faith and local communities. He works tirelessly with eight ethnic Buddhist groups, who are enriching theirs spiritual, needs for happiness. 
He is the founder of the Buddhist Center of Regina, and has been on several occasions, invited to teach Buddhism in the Catholic School system and Luther College at the University of Regina.
Reverend Uttam Barua also established a Buddhist Sunday school for the young, as well as leading a meditation class for adults and seniors every Thursday evening. His main achievement is to help every citizen, regardless of race, sex color, or creed, promote the noble teachings of Buddhism, including moral education, encouraging the understanding of each other’s faith, and to build bridges and concrete relationship in Saskatchewan and all over the country.
