Membership Application Process

In accordance with the constitution, membership is offered to people who wish to support and participate in the aims of Buddha House Centre for Advanced Buddhist Studies Inc.

In common with most incorporated associations, applications for membership require the sponsorship of two people who are themselves already members. This is to protect the association and ensure the aims are shared by members. Sponsors are signing to indicate support for the person to become a member.

In applying to become a member of Buddha House, you are asked to sign an affirmation that you support the aims and values of Buddha House, The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Membership is subject to Board approval, as specified by the constitution. Applications are normally considered monthly.

Buddha House acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We pay our respects to elders, past, present and future, as well as all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – their country, culture, and community.

Dedication

May everyone who sees, hears, or thinks (even in frustration) of this web site be freed in that very second from all their sufferings, diseases, spirit harms, negative karmas and obscurations, and abide in the peerless happiness of full enlightenment forever.
