Atisha Centre is a calm and peaceful Buddhist retreat and educational facility, nestled in the native Australian bushlands of central Victoria. Founded in 1981 we are a part of the dynamic and inspiring vision of Lama Thubten Yeshe. Atisha Centre is proudly affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) a network of Buddhist centres in Australia and around the world.

Situated with Atisha Centre is the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, currently under construction which will be one of the most significant Buddhist temples in the world and Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery where monks devote themselves to study, meditation and spiritual transformation. This monastery provides a valuable opportunity for people visiting the centre to make a connection with ordained Sangha.
