Welcome to Bodhichitta Buddhist Centre

Buddhism has a timeless and universal relevance, and can be practised by anyone in any culture. Through training in meditation and other Buddhist practices we can improve the quality of our life by developing inner peace, love, and wisdom. We can bring true meaning to our very busy, modern lives, learning to respond to difficult situations and problems with a more enlightened view.

Bodhichitta Buddhist Centre is a non-profit organization offering classes at various locations around Victoria and Vancouver Island. We provide facilities for people to meditate, listen to Buddha's teachings, and engage in Buddhist study programs all under the guidance of a qualified Meditation Teacher.

Please feel free to contact us or drop in at our new Meditation Centre at 2020 Douglas Street. Our monthly e-newsletter will keep you in touch with up-coming events, courses and weekend retreats.

We are committed to helping everyone find the peace and happiness they desire through identifying and developing the potential within their own mind.   

“Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we shall be happy, regardless of our external conditions.” - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
