Buddhist Library Ltd
Buddhist Library Ltd is a non-sectarian, not-for-profit educational organisation based in Camperdown, New South Wales, Australia. Established to promote Buddhist teachings and meditation practices, it operates as a public library and community centre, offering access to over 7,000 books and multimedia resources related to Buddhist philosophy, history, and practice[2][3].

The organisation facilitates workshops, courses, and events focused on meditation and Buddhist studies, catering to both beginners and experienced practitioners[1]. Activities include guided meditation sessions, Dharma discussions, and guest lectures by teachers such as Bhante Sanathavihari and Patricia Austin[1]. While based in Sydney, it also provides online resources and virtual events, including Zoom-based programs[1].

Though distinct from the similarly named Buddhist Library Cambodia Project (BLCP)—a separate charity founded in 2005 to support health and education initiatives in Cambodia—Buddhist Library Ltd remains dedicated to local educational outreach[5]. Its non-discriminatory approach aligns with broader Buddhist principles of inclusivity, offering services without regard to race or religious background[5].

As an ACNC-registered charity, it relies on community support to maintain its library collections and programs, emphasizing accessibility to Buddhist wisdom for the general public[2][3].
