Welcome to Daham Niketanaya Buddhist Temple .It is a place of peace and
restoration, and a place to learn and practice Theravada Buddhism and
meditation.
In a chaotic world dominated by conflicting interests,
both personal and global, Buddhism brings an awareness in our deepest
being of the oneness of universal life. Our objectives are ...
- Establish and maintain a centre for education, training in Buddhist culture and Asian languages.
- Dissemination of the teachings of the lord Buddha.
- Provide access to literature, conduct lectures and seminars
- Engage in other activities to increase the awareness of Buddhism and to learn the benefits of Meditation
- Promote social fellowship and harmony within the framework of tolerance, participation, loving kindness and compassion among Buddhist and non Buddhist Australians in keeping with the Buddhist tradition.
While Daham Niketanaya being the centre for Education and meditation,
it also run a sunday school for children of the lay community and its members.
Its popularity among the other temples such as Laos, Thailand, Vietnamese
and fellow buddhist temples is well documented. Venerable Kotte Santhindriya is the founder and
the head monk of the temple since 1995. He can be reached on (03)93334848.
