We need your financial support to help spread the Buddha’s teachings in Melbourne
Please become a member of Tara Institute

Members of Tara Institute support Venerable Geshe Doga and our teachers to continue teaching Buddha’s gentle philosophies and in so doing benefit all sentient beings.

The cost of maintaining and improving the facilities at Tara Institute, administering and presenting the teachings and caring for our resident teacher, Ven. Geshe Doga, his translator and attendant run to $1,000 a day.

While Tara Institute receives financial support through residents’ rent, membership fees and the generosity of donors and volunteers, more members are needed to ensure the continuation of the Centre and its work.

Your generosity of a donation or member fees will accumulate merit for your own enlightenment and liberation. However, even in this life, you will help countless sentient beings who attend these teachings and make positive changes in their lives and the lives of those around them.

In this life, in gratitude for your support as a Tara Institute member you’ll receive:

• Free entry to Monday night teachings
• Borrowing rights to Tara Institute’s extensive library
• 10% off all bookshop items
• Discounts on courses and course accommodation
• Monthly newsletter
• Free publications from Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive
• Invitations to special members’ events
• Email notification of upcoming events of interest
• One free 3-course meal in Tara Institute’s dining room (Monday to Wednesday from 6:30-7:30pm)
• Free entry to Monday night teachings
