WELCOME MESSAGE

The TBC is a lay community active since June 1986, under the guidance of Ven. Ajahn Viradhammo and affiliated informally, with the Tisarana Buddhist Monastery, Perth, Ontario. 

Buddhism is one of the world's great religions. The religion is based on the teaching of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as The Buddha, who lived approximately 557 B.C. to 477 B.C. The word "Buddha" means a Fully Awakened One. The purpose of the Theravada Buddhist Community is to encourage the realization of the teachings of the Buddha through the support of the Thai Forest Monastery of the Venerable Ajahn Chah Tradition.

Our weekly meditation sittings are held every Sunday, 10-12, at The Centre, 316Dupont St, Toronto (near the Dupont subway station, 1 block west of Spadina Ave).
