Welcome to Metta Centre

With inner peace comes world peace

A CENTRE FOR
SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

Metta Centre is a non-profit organisation, pursuing charitable purposes that advance social welfare and peace within individuals, families, the community, and in the world. We are guided by the principles of Buddhism to do what is good, to avoid what is evil and to purify the mind. We are interested in holistic change for a better inner and outer world. We welcome you to be a part of this change.

Special Events & Projects

We want to make the learning and practice of Buddhism relevant, accessible and interesting. So, we are creative in the types of events we organise, which may take the form of larger-scale events, conferences, retreats, nature walks, pilgrimages, festivals, charitable projects, and social dinners.

Regular Events

Routine is key to staying on track with our Buddhist practice. Be supported by the guidance of teachers and the friendship of fellow practitioners every week when you come to listen to talks from teachers from all over the world, learn and develop your meditation practice, and relax your body and mind with some mindful yoga.

Videos

Our YouTube channel features recordings of many of our talks, guided meditations, special events, and Temple Spotlight Series.

Books

If you like the touch and feel of paper, we have a wide selection of free Buddhist books that you can collect at our events for free. If you prefer the convenience of eBooks that you can access immediately, check out our sister organisation, Lotus Library, which houses more than 1,400 titles from all the Buddhist traditions.

Suttas

You can read the words of the Buddha as recorded in the early Buddhist Texts with modern translations at SuttaCentral.

Make a tangible difference to people's lives

Metta Hearts

The social welfare arm of Metta Centre supports the underprivileged, such as the homeless and children in foster care. We also support chaplains providing spiritual care in hospitals, prisons, universities and defence. You too can help by donating warm clothes, bedding, toys and Buddhist items like mala beads and Buddhist books.

Local and informal Buddhist spaces

Dhamma Lighthouses

Metta Centre supports lay people who wish to offer all or part of their homes or business premises to support visiting monastics and Buddhist practitioners to stay temporarily, and offer opportunities for their local community to offer Dana and listen to the Dhamma. These spaces become Dhamma Lighthouses, connected together through Metta Centre, so they have the support of the Metta Centre community of volunteers to enable the hosts to manage these spaces sustainably and informally. This is particularly important in places like Australia, where it may be difficult to maintain many monasteries and Buddhist centres to cater for the large geographical area and diverse populations. Metta Centre currently supports the House of Metta in Revesby, Rhonda Place in Concord, and Dhamma Hub in Hornsby. Contact us if you wish to offer a space as part of the Dhamma Lighthouses project.
