About the Business
Welcome to Lankarama Buddhist Vihara, a traditional Theravada Buddhist Temple located in Tallawong, Oak Street, Australia. As an establishment, place of worship, and point of interest, Lankarama Vihara aims to promote the teachings of Buddha, known as Dhamma, within the Australian community.
At Lankarama Vihara, you will find three residing Sri Lankan Buddhist monks who regularly conduct Dhamma sermons in both Sinhala and English. They are dedicated to fulfilling the religious requirements of the Buddhist community and guiding individuals on their spiritual journey.
One of the highlights at Lankarama Vihara is the Full Day Meditation Program, conducted monthly by our residential Bhanthes. From 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, participants can immerse themselves in guided meditation, dhamma discourses, and Buddha Pooja, all conducted primarily in Sinhala.

Reviews
"I recently visited the Buddhist temple and was blown away by the serene atmosphere and beautiful architecture. The temple's calming ambiance made me feel at peace. Many Sri Lankan Buddhists visit the temple. The Bhodi tree and White pagoda reminded me of the village temple back home."
"It's very pleasant. There is a single cat, but it hides away. Well maintained, quite relaxing. Nice scent of incense and candles set the scene."
"Had been here on a Sunday evening around 6:30 PM. It’s tucked away nicely in the heart of Schofields! There is a section of road towards the end which is not asphalted , but don’t worry and just follow google maps and you’ll reach there just fine. There is enough parking onsite but may not be sufficient during festivals. The lights weren’t switched on inside the main temple. It was very quite and peaceful inside. Buddha’s statue was pleasing as most of them usually are. Lots of fresh flowers to decorate the stage which made the whole place smell wonderful. Good for meditation. On stepping outside the main complex you are greeted with another statue of Buddha under a peepal tree. Again very beautiful. A place to light candles as well. The Stupa is beautiful as well. The whole place is maintained really clean. There is a toilet available on premise if needed."
