Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery, where monks can devote themselves to study, meditation and spiritual transformation.
Established in 1996, Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery is situated near Bendigo in central Victoria, Australia.
TSL Monastery is part of a very unique community that includes Machig Labdron Nunnery, Atisha Centre and the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, all on one site and supporting each other.
FPMT sangha members (IMI International Mahayana Institute) have fostered Buddhist centers globally, including hospices and monastic communities. In Australia, starting with the Chenrezig Institute, the community has grown to 21 centers. Bendigo’s donated land now hosts Atisha Centre, TSL Monastery, the Great Stupa, and Machig Labdron Nunnery, nurturing diverse spiritual activities.
FPMT
The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) transmits the Mahayana Buddhist tradition and values worldwide through Tibetan Buddhist teachings, meditation, community service, retreat centres, and projects that preserve the tradition. FPMT is based on the Gelugpa tradition as taught by our founder, Lama Thubten Yeshe and Spiritual Director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
