Dharma-Rama art exhibition in Wellington, New Zealand

From Triratna News on Tue, 19 Feb, 2019 - 11:40

The name they have used for their exhibition, Dharma-Rama, is a made up one.

Achalamuni explains the origin of the name and the significance of working together: “‘Dharma’ is obvious, but the ‘Rama’ part comes not from Pali or Sanskrit but from words such as...

From Wellington Buddhist Centre on Mon, 18 Feb, 2019 - 20:05

As you’d be staying in Achala’s house, we’d prefer it if you can come before he leaves in early July. You’d be welcome to stay on after he returns (at the end of...

The Wellington Buddhist centre is moving

From Wellington Buddhist Centre on Mon, 18 Feb, 2019 - 19:29

The Wellington Buddhist Centre is moving, but not very far! Just across the hall from our old premises!

Our new premises will be twice the size, with a quiet, well insulated environment and more suitable for those who come to practise meditation and learn about Buddhism with all the courses, drop-in classes, and events we offer.
