To support and encourage the lay community by maintaining a space for the weekly practice of meditation along with discussion and exploration of the Dhamma, the teachings of the Buddha.
To provide the opportunity for the lay community to receive teachings from monastics in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
To support the various monasteries (Buddhist Sanghas) within Ontario that are established in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.

Membership

Application for Membership in TBC is open to all participants in our activities who support our Mission Statement and are 18 years of age or older. Membership provides the right to be informed of and to vote at TBC general meetings, and to receive communications about activities and events for members. You do not need to be a member to join us on Sunday mornings or at other public events – everyone is welcome!

To apply to become a member, please complete the form below.

Membership is renewed annually. After you’ve been approved, you will be notified when your membership needs be renewed.

There are no charges for membership with TBC. Our sangha, however, is fully dependent on the dana (willing support) of its participants, especially for our weekly space rental fees, and so financial donations are gladly welcomed. If you would like to make an offering, you can do so on our Donations page.
