Why Membership Matters

Mahamudra Centre is more than a retreat space — it’s a place of refuge, reflection, and transformation. As a charitable organisation, we rely on the support of our community to keep the Centre open and thriving.

By becoming a member, you help sustain the heart of our work — from daily operations and building maintenance to the running of our teaching programme, pujas, and retreats.

Your membership directly supports visiting teachers and translators, the wellbeing of our resident team, and the precious opportunity for others to engage in Dharma practice. This is how your generosity becomes part of something truly meaningful.

In Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Words

“The purpose of the Centre existing continually is to help sentient beings and what sentient beings need most is to be free from the oceans of suffering….

The only method to be free of suffering is the Dharma, the Buddha’s teachings.

The Centres are for that. That is why the Centre is teaching Dharma, providing qualified teachers, translators, a place to practice, to hear the teachings and so many other things.

By helping the Centre, you are helping all sentient beings, because then people come to learn Dharma at the Centre, and to practice Bodhicitta, as they do the practice for all sentient beings, to benefit all sentient beings.

That is how the Centre benefits numberless beings.”

Lama Zopa Rinpoche ~ 6 May 2019
