Buddhist Temples in Christchurch

Based in the South Island of New Zealand, Kagyu Choeyang Ling has been created to provide a strong foundation for current and future generations to practice authentic Buddhist Dharma in the Karma Kagyu tradition. The intention is to develop strong centres with a dedicated and pure focus, that help people to meet the teachings of this lineage and practice the Dharma to attain genuine realisation.

Dho Nyak Osel Ling - Christchurch Buddhist Centre, provides activities for newcomers to, or experienced practitioners in, Buddhism.

Samadhi Buddhist Vihara is the main Sri Lankan based Buddhist temple in the south island of New Zealand. Situated in 358 Maddisons Road, Rolleston Samadhi Buddhist Vihara extends its services to the other far away cities in the south island, such as Dunedin and Invercargill. Samadhi Buddhist Vihara was established in may 2002 with the support of Sri Lankan and other Buddhist well-wishers in New Zealand to fulfil the religious and spiritual aspirations of the Buddhist community in the south island. Samadhi Buddhist Vihara follows Theravada Buddhist tradition and provides spiritual guidance to integrate Lord Buddha's teachings into everyday life of the Buddhist community.
