Amitabha Buddhist Retreat Centre

The Amitabha Buddhist Retreat Centre is a place to learn about and to practice Pure Land Buddhism. The practice can also support and enhance other belief systems as it calms the mind and fosters mindfulness and stability.

Retreats are held periodically. Please check the “Retreats” page for the schedule.

On Sunday there is group chanting meditation followed by either a recorded or a live Dharma talk and a vegetarian lunch. The Sunday session begins at 9am. Visitors are welcome to join us for all or part of the morning and to stay for lunch.

The centre also periodically holds senior socials, which were begun in 1995, for residents of area nursing homes. If you wish to visit at a time other than during a scheduled event, please call for an appointment.

The Amitabha Buddhist Retreat Centre does not charge for any activities or for Dharma materials. Instead, it depends on donations for its income. All donations are sincerely appreciated.
