MEDICINE BUDDHA TANTRAYANA MEDITATION CENTRE

Lama Tendar established the Medicine Buddha Tantrayana Meditation Center in Frankston South in 2011.  He also travels across Australia teaching Dharma, sacred arts, chanting, and performing sacred rituals, blessings and empowerments.  Lama Tendar is well known for his big smile, sense of humour, immeasurable kindness and generosity. He invites and welcomes everyone to visit the centre in person or online.

Rinpoche was born in Kham in eastern Tibet near Tsadong Monastery. He was formally recognised as Tsadong Rinpoche in 1982 and officially authenticated and ordained by His Holiness Dalai Lama in 1992. As one of the outstanding students of Gelug monasteries, Rinpoche took the Lharampa exam in 1999 and finished in second place. After many years teaching in Taiwan and neighboring regions Rinpoche relocated to Australia in 2015.  We are very honoured to be able to offer and receive teachings from Rinpoche at the Medicine Buddha Centre.
