February 2022

The Toowoomba Buddhist Centre is currently in the process of closing down. Because of this we are no longer offering any study courses, meditation groups or any other activities.

More than 2,500 years ago, had the Buddha decided not to teach, there would have been no Dharma or Sangha. More than 53 years ago, had Sangharakshita decided not to start a Buddhist movement in a Western context, there would have been no Triratna Buddhist Community. More than 23 years ago, had Roger not decided to teach about Buddhism at Toowoomba TAFE, the coming into existence of the Toowoomba Buddhist Centre may never have happened. So much has flowed from the arising of these significant conditions. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for the Buddha’s gift of the Dharma and Sangha and all that has come from these.

We now take this opportunity to express our immense gratitude for the significant part that the Toowoomba Buddhist Centre, with the contributions to this Sangha by so many people, has played in our lives and the life of the Toowoomba community.

With the closing of the Centre, may the conditions continue to arise for us all to experience inspiration, the support of friends in the Dharma and a strong connection with the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The wider Triratna community is still offering many resources online. This includes home retreats, courses, talks, and other online events.
