Non-monastic Buddhist centre in a community
A Dharma Centre (Sanskrit) or Dhamma Centre (Pali) is a non-monastic Buddhist centre in a community.
According to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, the function of these centres is to preserve and spread the teachings of Buddhism.[1] Many of the larger centres have lay residents.[2] According to the New Kadampa Tradition, dharma centres provide the focus of a local Buddhist community and provide facilities for study, practice and living by moral precepts.[3]
