The Bhutanese Buddhist and Cultural Centre, registered as Druk Namgyel Chhoeling Buddhist centre inc. the 70th Je Khenpo of Bhutan.

Established in 2017 with the blessings of the Central Monastic Body of Bhutan (Zhung Dratshang), the BBCC Canberra is dedicated to preserving Bhutanese culture, fostering Buddhist values, and supporting the Bhutanese community. Australia (DNC) is an incorporated ecumenical Bhutanese Buddhist and cultural centre established under the aegis of H.H. Its core mission is to provide spiritual services to the Bhutanese people living in Canberra and to preserve Bhutan national identity in foreign land. These services include private household rituals, organized group teaching and practices, and engagement programmes for children and elderlies including the teaching of Bhutanese language and culture. Objectives
BBCC aka DNC will also work with the RBE, Canberra, ABAC, and other Bhutanese organizations to promote opportunities for the Bhutanese people to maintain their continued ties with our culture and tradition through regularly organizing important national occasions like His Majesty’s Birthday, Birthday of His Majesty the Fourth King, the National Day, and other such significant events. As a spiritual and cultural centre, DNC will also organize ceremonies on important Buddhist and other auspicious days according to the Bhutanese calendar. One of the key objectives of DNC is to work with the RBE, ABAC, and other Bhutanese religious and community organizations in Canberra to initiate a project to build a suitable and ecumenical Bhutanese temple and cultural centre. This Buddhist infrastructure will enable DNC and other community organizations in Canberra to achieve their core missions of ensuring welfare and harmony in the Bhutanese community. It will also serve as a platform for Bhutan and the Bhutanese people to engage with the wider multicultural community in Canberra, Australia’s great capital city.

Kadrinchey to our Bhutanese friends working at IRT Community for making this month’s Ekajati and Gyenyen Tshogkhor a great success:

As always, we would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed to making this month’s Ekajati and Gyenyen Tshogkhor a meaningful and successful gathering. Our monthly Tshogkhor continues to grow stronger, thanks to the unwavering support, hard work and dedication of our community.

This month’s Tshogkhor was particularly special, as we were delighted to welcome a group of our Bhutanese friends from Kangara Waters – an IRT Community, who generously sponsored the gathering. We extend our sincere gratitude to this wonderful group for being the first group from the same workplace community to come together and support our sacred event.

One of the members shared their hope and commitment to continue supporting this sacred Ekajati and Gyenyen Tshogkhor every year on the 15th day of the ninth month of the Bhutanese calendar for as long as they continue working together.

Their generous contribution reflects not only their care for the well-being of our wider community but also their commitment to promoting happiness and well-being among their work colleagues. We are truly grateful for their thoughtful initiative and commitment.

Beyond their generous sponsorship, the group also prepared delicious meals for everyone, took responsibility for the post-event clean-up and generously donated $1,410 in cash to the Centre.

We deeply appreciate their generosity, teamwork and willingness to contribute their time and effort to make the gathering so special. We wish all our Jindas, sponsors, volunteers and community members happiness, good health and continued blessings.

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who attended, supported and contributed to this sacred gathering. Your continued generosity, dedication and kindness keep our Centre thriving and strengthen the bonds and spirit of our community.
Kadrinchey la!

Thank you all for your continued support and dedication. 🙏🙏🙏
