Atisha Centre is a serene and peaceful retreat centre and hub of Buddhist education, nestled in the quiet native bushlands of central Victoria, near Bendigo.

Founded in 1981, the Centre provides a tranquil and welcoming setting for those interested in exploring the Buddhadharma.

Drawing on the dynamic and inspiring vision of Lama Thubten Yeshe, founder of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), Atisha Centre is proudly affiliated with the FPMT, and is part of a network of Buddhist centres in Australia and around the world.

Situated in close proximity to Atisha Centre is the imposing Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, currently under construction, and soon to become among the most significant Buddhist temples and pilgrimage destinations in the world, and the 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 complex to make a connection with the ordained Sangha.
