Chandrakirti Meditation Centre Community Group Fund

Chandrakirti Meditation Centre has established a Community Group Fund with the Top of the South Community Foundation to ensure our centre remains a vibrant, peaceful sanctuary for meditation and study of Tibetan Buddhism for generations to come. 

Contributions to the Fund are invested in perpetuity, with the income supporting essential running costs. Every gift helps ensure this cherished community resource continues to offer guidance, stillness, and connection to all who seek it — now and for future generations. 

Chandrakirti Meditation Centre is a place of genuine peace and welcome, open to all ethnicities, walks of life, and age groups. Rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Centre encourages altruism, ethical living, and service to the wider community — spiritually, materially, and educationally. 

The Centre serves the needs of Nelson and the surrounding region, welcoming everyone who is drawn to meditation, Buddhist study, or simply a place of calm in which to reflect and reconnect.
