Fo Guang Shan Melbourne is a welcoming community space in Yarraville where people from all walks of life can come together to pause, learn, connect and grow.

Inspired by Humanistic Buddhism, we offer practical experiences that focus on practical wisdom for everyday life — helping people cultivate greater calm, clarity, compassion and connection in an increasingly busy world.

Since 1992, we have been bringing people together through meditation and mindfulness, wellbeing programs, cultural experiences, workshops, community events, family and youth programs, and opportunities for personal growth and meaningful connection.

Our events are open to people from all backgrounds. You don’t need to be Buddhist or have any previous experience to join us. Whether you are looking for greater calm and clarity, interested in exploring a new practice or culture, or simply looking for a welcoming community, there is a place for you here.

Mindfulness. Wellbeing. Wisdom. Culture. Community.

Everyone is welcome.
