CHUNG TIAN TEMPLE
(formally registered as International Buddhist Association of Queensland)
‘Chung Tian Temple’ (which means ‘middle heaven’) was constructed in 1992 using traditional Chinese Buddhist architecture – it is situated between Brisbane and Logan, Queensland. Surrounded by nature, the Temple provides a peaceful and culturally beautiful venue for the community to celebrate their multicultural diversity and multi-faith harmony through Humanistic Buddhism.

The International Buddhist Association of Queensland is an international branch organization of the Fokuangshan Buddhist Order, Taiwan. Besides promoting Buddhism, the Chung Tian Temple was established with the goal of integrating Eastern culture into Australian traditions in the context of multiculturalism. It is increasingly becoming an active cultural, educational and tourist centre in Queensland and has been widely recognized as a successful model for its multicultural approach in Australia.

The organisation organises several versatile activities for the community. Many of them aim at fostering talent and appreciation of art through education and promoting multi-culturalism through cultural activities.
