Our New Logo
The Buddhist Council of WA inc is pleased to announce our new logo which is made up of a central depiction of the historical Buddha Gautama and is flanked by the Buddhist and WA State flags. The Buddha is seated on a lotus throne and the eight rays represent the Eightfold Noble Path which is central to all the three traditions of Buddhism. The BCWA committee would like to thank all those involved in the production of this logo especially the graphic artist Haiyi Li who kindly donated her time and effort.
Jumping back to Melbourne, cohealth has opened a pop-up vaccination clinic at the Quang Minh Buddhist temple in Braybrook, in the city’s west.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Laurence Mills, the former Phra Khantipalo. He was a well known teacher in the Theravadan tradition and was also well known to Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. He is considered one of the seminal figures of Buddhist teaching in Australia. He died on Monday 5 July after many years of ill health, during which time a number of his former students supported him with much care and compassion.
