The Buddhist Hour is a production of the Buddhist Discussion Centre (Upwey). Our Centre was founded in 1978 by John D. Hughes as a not for profit self-help organization and was incorporated as a company in 1980. Located at 33 Brooking Street, Upwey Victoria, we are a home grown Australian Buddhist Temple, teaching from the main schools of Buddhism: Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana and Chan or Zen. Our Members practice the Six Perfections of: Generosity, Morality, Patience, Joyful Effort, Concentration and Wisdom, which are the principle areas that a person needs to cultivate within themselves to develop on the Buddha Dhamma path. In all our activities members practice the cultivation of our Five Styles: Friendliness, Practicality, Professionalism, Cultural Adaptability and Scholarship. Our Centre's key objectives are: • To introduce a philosophy of life based on Buddha Dhamma; • To encourage the study, practice and realization of Buddha Dhamma; • To preserve the Buddha Dhamma teachings; and • To promote activities associated with Buddha Dhamma and Buddhist Culture in Australia and overseas.
We are one of over 160 Regional Centres of the World Fellowship of Buddhists; an Associated Institution of the World Buddhist University, a Member of the Buddhist Council of Victoria, and a Founding Member of the Ethnic Communities' Council of Victoria.
