Our Story
The Gold Coast Buddhist Association Inc., also known as the Gold Coast Buddhist Centre, was formally established on 8 August 2019 under the Association Incorporation Act 1981 and registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).Before this time, there was no Theravāda Buddhist centre or resident monk to provide spiritual guidance to the many Buddhist families living on the Gold Coast. Venerable Kottukachchiye Pagngnasiri Thero became the founding abbot and first Chief Incumbent of the Gold Coast Buddhist Centre. Gold Coast Buddhist Centre is dedicated to fostering the spiritual development of individuals through the teachings of the Buddha and promoting excellence in Buddhist practice. We also serve the wider Gold Coast community by providing opportunities to learn Buddhism, cultivate peace of mind, and contribute to a happier, more harmonious society.
