The Uganda Budddhist Centre

The Uganda Buddhist Centre was established in April 2005 in Kawempe, Uganda and used to operate on a rented space. In early February, 2006 a new property was acquired overlooking Lake Victoria.
Mission
The Uganda Buddhist Centre, founded in 2005 by Venerable Buddharakkhita, is a major initiative in the heart of Africa which intends to provide the first stable source of Buddhism in Uganda. Most importantly, we consider the Buddha's Teachings to be a form of medicine that can end suffering and transform ordinary human beings into perfectly compassionate and perfectly wise beings.

I can hear the Mangala Sutta at the background. These Ugandan community is a very fortunate bunch to receive this priceless teachings of Lord Buddha. This is the only path to happiness in life. Only the limited number of verý intelligent people can understand the core of Buddhst philosophy. Once the mind is conquered, you conquered every suffering. Core Buddhism teaches you how to be eternally happy through being realistic.

Good Job Uganda people to follow budhism, I am Indian, I am very happy .

[@indianeinstein1978]

we Indians should feel shame of denying Gautham Buddha's teachings in his own land !!! it's bcoz we Indians are self centered , not able to come out of blind rituals, selfish prayers, casteism etc. Buddha says don't follow Veda and said follow Upanishad. we are not doing it. Buddha said meditate but we can't keep quiet in temple Q and try to stand first the darshan the statue inside the temple.
