Buddha House is affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT).
Buddha's Cafe stood out among the food stalls with its colours and professionalism. The chai went, every last drop, as customers returned for second and third refills. We have a winning combination of chai-makers and organisers from the Pure Lands, Lisa, Jane, Paula and Gisela. And to Adam, Bob, Josh, Daniel, Lara, Wendy, Andrew, Helena and Lynnette, we couldn't have done it without you. See you at Buddha's Bowl, dear ones.
Buddha House quiz nights are a hoot! If you haven't experienced one, do yourself a favour and try the next one. With questions from left-field, spicy chai and the odd scream, the night tends to be memorable, to say the least.
