Melbourne prelate completes 35 years of ordination

The Sakayamuni Sambuddha Vihara in Berwick, Melbourne provides religious guidance to over 3000 Sri Lankan Buddhists living in the neighbourhood while disseminating Dhamma through a well established Dhamma school, in which over 200 pupils are enrolled at present.

There is also a Buddhist youth group that meets once a month conducting discussions on the Dhamma and learn meditation practices. The graduates from the Dhamma school join the Youth Group to continue with their Buddhist education and spiritual development.

Ven Wimalananda Thera and the late Ven Soma Maha Thera

The temple has witnessed a progressive growth under the patronage of the chief incumbent Ven Digamadulle Wimalananda Thera.

At present the temple is one of the most active centres among the Sri Lankan Buddhists domiciled in Victoria. Following the guidance imparted by late Ven Soma Maha Thera, the Thera actively participates in the Victorian Buddhist Council, an umbrella organisation for all Buddhist traditions in Victoria. Ven Wimalananda Thera completes 35 years of higher ordination having entered the Sasana in January 1976.

He received his higher ordination in 1978 and studied the Dhamma under the tutelage of the Most Ven Madihe Pannaseeha Maha Nayake Thera and the Most Ven Ampitiye Rahula Maha Thera at the Siri Vajiragnana Bhikkhu Training Centre, Maharagama.

The Centre

The Centre was recently formed to promote meditation and the teachings of Buddha. We liaise

with worldwide Buddhist societies and Interfaith Religious Organisations to promote tolerance to all

schools of Buddhist thought as well as to other religious faiths.

The Centre fosters inter-religious harmony, mutual understanding and maintains an environment of

respect and peace.

This society is led by Ven. Bodhicitta, a Sri Lankan born Buddhist nun. Our society is in its infancy and

the services we provide are free for the general public regardless of their origin, race or religion. This society

is managed by the generosity of people who value our service.

Aims and Objectives

1. To foster the teachings and the practice of the Buddha Dhamma, and the practice of meditation with

an emphasis on the good life and the mindful life.

2. To disseminate through our religious and educational programmes the basic values of tolerance

and interconnectedness in reaching out to other schools of Buddhism and other religious, ethnic and

cultural groups.

3. To develop concrete projects that would enhance the health and psychological well-being of our

community. As in the world in which we live, ‘stress’ continues to exact a toll on everyday life, we are

increasingly turning to ancient meditative methods.

These techniques of mindfulness practice need to be integrated in to any counselling programme.

4. To focus attention on the role of families in helping to build up a youth culture and develop a ‘youth

forum’ for a dialogue with young people.

5. To encourage members and their friends to engage in social and charity projects to assist those in need in

the community.

Services

The services provided by our centre include:

• Providing regular classes for teaching the Dhamma and meditation practice.
• Established library and reading services for members and their families.
• Developing a program for young people modelled on the “The schooling for the Good Heart” in the USA.
• This program would have a specific focus on the education of the emotions through mindfulness
• practice.
• Organising regular talks and seminars on ‘counselling education’.
• Establishing links with worldwide Buddhist societies
