Landmarks and Buildings

Tharpa Choeling, Wellington Buddhist Centre was founded by Gelupa Lineage Western Sangha, following the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. They take seriously the 43 ordination vows as given by their ordination master, Geshe Thubten Dawa plus the main Boshisattva vow which incorporates 18 root vows and 46 subsidiary vows.

This is not a cultural centre and as such, their main focus is study of the Buddha’s teachings; the three turnings of the dharma wheel, which they are always happy to share with others.

The Tharpa Choeling Wellington Buddhist centre offers classes in meditation, breathing, relaxation and yoga.
