Maitreya Mandala is an international Buddhist network with meditation centres in Germany, Hungary and Switzerland. We study, teach and practise the Buddha Dharma in the tradition of Lama Anagarika Govinda. We are dedicated to continuing his work in contemporary European Buddhism. (read more on the national websites). Maitri means all-embracing love containing wisdom, clarity and compassion. Maitreya is the Buddha of the future that we shape by our practise. Mandala symbolizes a living circle which is constantly emanating from within our heart. Maitreya Mandala stands for the way our centres are connected and how we cooperate. Each centre has its own identity and organisational structure and is headed by a member of the Order Arya Maitreya Mandala founded by Lama Anagarika Govinda. We are a spiritual community united by common values and the strong will to develop our human potential for the benefit of all beings. We study, teach and practise all of the historical paths of the Buddha Dharma. In this embracing view we keep up the heritage of Lama Anagarika Govinda and follow his understanding of Buddhism as it is conveyed by Vajramala his very personal student.
