Tara Institute is a Tibetan Buddhist Centre located in Melbourne, providing buddhist teachings throughout the year. Venerable Geshe Doga has been the resident teacher at the Centre since 1984.

The Centre is affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, an organisation founded in the early 1970's by Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.

In addition to the regular weekly program are weekend courses, pujas, special healing courses, social events and activities for children.

The Centre is residential for full-time residents as well as providing dormitory accommodation for visitors. It is supported through residency, membership fees, donations and volunteer work. Amongst the facilities are a library and a well-stocked bookshop.
