Hello from the Wellington Buddhist Centre
The Wellington Buddhist Centre is the hub of a friendly community of people who are interested in Buddhism and meet up regularly to meditate and support each other.
We aim to practice and present a form of Buddhism that is grounded in the core teachings and practices that underlie all the different ethnic schools of Buddhism. We are simply Buddhists, basing ourselves on the core teachings, but open to the richness of the whole tradition.
We have a number of regular activities, including:
Tuesday at 7pm – 9pm is Open Night
All welcome - a talk on an aspect of Buddhism, tea followed by meditation.
Saturday Morning Meditation 9:00am - 10:30am
An open session of unled meditation followed by an optional coffee and a chat at a nearby cafe. A great way to start the weekend.
Monday Beginner’s Meditation 5:30pm - 6:30pm
This is a chance to get a taste of meditation through learning a basic practice.
Eight Step Recovery Meeting - Mondays 6:45pm - 8:15pm
These meetings open to anyone who see themselves as being in recovery from addiction, habitual behaviours or obsessive tendencies.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
