We began the last day of the year with a meaningful one-day retreat at the Uganda Buddhist Centre (UBC). We were joined by members of the wider community, our novices, teachers, and the UBC Sangha.
We were also blessed with a Dhamma talk by Bhante Buddharakkhita, who emphasized the importance of forgiveness letting go of burdens and cultivating harmony as we prepare to enter the new year with clarity and compassion

About Us

The Uganda Buddhist Centre was founded by Venerable Buddharakkhita who is a Ugandan by nationality and is the first Buddhist monk in Uganda to introduce Buddhism into the country on April 10, 2005. It was created to introduce and preserve the Buddha’s teachings within the context of African culture.

The Uganda Buddhist Centre is the first Buddhist Centre in Uganda. It is located on two acres of land at Bulega, Garuga, Entebbe (about 5 km off Kampala-Enteebe main road). The centre is open to all people who wish to cultivate peace, harmony and happiness.

Programs and ceremonies organized at the centre are offered to the public free of charge, reflecting its commitment to universal access to Dhamma.

The Centre also houses a Buddha statue called “Mirembe” Buddha, which means “Peace” Buddha in the local Luganda language. This statue is made of brass and weighs 103 kilograms. It was donated by a group of generous devotees from Thailand and has distinctive African facial features. The statue symbolizes bringing the peaceful Buddha’s teachings to Africa, which has, in the past, been torn by wars and political problems.
