The 'John D. Hughes Dhamma Cetiya' Meditation Hall and Buddhist Library
Founded in 1978 as a not for profit self help organisation the Buddhist Discussion Centre (Upwey) Ltd is a home grown Australian Buddhist Temple.
The Founder of the Temple was the late Buddhist Master and Teacher John D. Hughes whose intention was for this temple to be of benefit to Western lay practitioners, to bring the Buddhist teachings into its modern day application and to provide the resources to do it.
Since John's passing away in 2003 the temple and teachings have been continued by his wife Anita Carter and some of John's other students. The temple runs weekly Dhamma classes, guided meditation and teachings by Anita and visiting monks and Chan and Sumi-e painting.
We are a Regional Centre of the World Fellowship of Buddhists, an Associated Institution of the World Buddhist University, a Member of The Buddhist Council of Victoria and the Ethnic Communities' Council of Victoria. Our multilingual reference library houses a collection of over four thousands books for Buddha Dhamma Scholars and Practitioners.
We are a non-sectarian temple and embrace all Buddha's teachings. Over the years many great monks, nuns and scholars have come from all over the world, from many traditions, to visit and give teachings and blessings at our Centre. We continue in the style and vision of our founder to help the Buddha Sasana, to spread the Dhamma, to support the Sangha and we welcome those who wish to learn and practice the Buddhist path
