Welcome to
Langri Tangpa Centre!
Langri Tangpa Centre is a teaching and meditation centre in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. We provide a friendly and supportive environment for learning and putting into practice the teachings of the Buddha. LTC is a non-profit organisation, founded in 1982, and run entirely by volunteers.
Our centre is located on the southside of Brisbane. We hold classes both in-person and online. All our events are by donation. We don’t ever want financial considerations to be the reason you cannot come! There is a suggested donation of $10 per class, but there is no set amount – please offer what you are comfortable with. We thank you for your generosity. Your contribution ensures that Langri Tangpa Centre can continue to offer the program, pay the mortgage, and cover running costs.
At LTC we embrace diversity and equal opportunity with respect to race, religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, sexual orientation, and physical abilities. There is no need to be a Buddhist to benefit from our courses. We encourage questioning and open dialogue, and welcome everyone with an interest in making their life happy, helpful and full of meaning. Feel free to join a class, even if we are part way through the course.
LTC created Australia’s 2,500th street library in 2019. Since then we have freely offered over 400 books from our little glowing gem of happiness in the garden!
