SIBA (Sakya International Buddhist Academy)
SIBA Retreat Centre is a beautiful Buddhist retreat centre in the Snowy River country of East Gippsland, Victoria. Formerly ONTOS, it was founded by Lama Choedak Rinpoche and formally opened and consecrated by His Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche in 2006. During this time His Eminence gave the dharma name Tsarchen Choeling.
Jamchen Buddhist Centre is a non-profit charitable association that aims to further the study and practice of Mahayana Buddhism, as taught by the Tsarpa lineage of the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Centre’s spiritual director and resident teacher, His Eminence Zimwock Rinpoche, the sixth reincarnation in a highly esteemed lineage of Tibetan masters, is presently the highest lineage holder of the Tsarpa tradition.
Jamchen Buddhist Centre is affiliated with 16 other Centres in Australia and New Zealand, all under the Spiritual Directorship of Lama Choedak Rinpoche.
