Thubten Shedrup Ling

Thubten Shedrup Ling

"Thubten Shedrup Ling" is the first Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Australia. It is situated near Bendigo, Victoria, and is a member of the International Mahayana Institute of the FPMT.

In 1994 Lama Zopa Rinpoche asked Australian Buddhist monk Ven. Thubten Gyatso to establish a monastery on land near Bendigo donated by the family of Mr. Ian Green. His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the XIVth Dalai Lama of Tibet endorsed the name: "Thubten Shedrup Ling", An Oasis for Study and Practice of the Buddha’s Teachings. With the architectural and financial support of Mr. Salim Lee and the support of many individual donors, construction began in 1996. The first monks moved in to Thubten Shedrup Ling in 1997.
