AUSTRALIA - NAN TIEN TEMPLE - WOLLONGONG NSW
Hi and welcome to my channel, I hope you will sit a while and enjoy some of my little videos. Please ensure you watch them as intended in 1080p, (choose 1080p in settings at bottom of screen) as Youtube sometimes does not screen them in all their glory!
We recently had a mini break in Wollongong, and came across this gorgeous Buddhist Temple:-Nan Tien Temple (Chinese: 南天寺; pinyin: Nántiān Sì; literally: 'Southern Heaven Temple') is a Buddhist temple complex located in Berkeley, on the southern outskirts of the Australian city of Wollongong, approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) south of Sydney.[1]
Nan Tien is one of the branch temples of the Taiwanese Fo Guang Shan Buddhist order, founded in 1967 by Hsing Yun,[2] which has over 120 branches worldwide. The temple is one of the largest Buddhist temples in the southern hemisphere.
It was founded by and constructed under the auspices of the Mahayana Buddhist organization known as Fo Guang Shan, and completed in 1995. The organization itself was founded in Taiwan in 1967 by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, and has 120 branches throughout the world. Fo Guang Shan Buddhism is rooted in the Mahayana tradition which emphasises that Buddhahood is within everyone's potential reach. Fo Guang Shan followers strive to bring Buddhism into daily life and describe their philosophy as Humanistic Buddhism.
The site of the Australian branch's temple was reputedly chosen by Hsing Yun due to its proximity to Mount Kembla, which is said to have an auspicious resemblance to a recumbent lion. It overlooks both Mount Keira and Mount Kembla. The land was donated by the Australian government.
The temple is one of Wollongong's major tourist attractions, and conducts regular weekend retreats for visitors interested in Buddhism in general, and Chinese culture in particular. Retreats can involve classes in t'ai chi, calligraphy and meditation.
Accommodation for retreat participants and members of the general public is available at the Pilgrim Lodge, a 100-room motel-style facility located in the temple grounds adjacent to its large lotus pond.
It is regarded as an orthodox Buddhist temple by local Chinese Buddhists, in contrast with some other shrines which worship Buddhist, Taoist, and mystical heroes in the same building. It frequently hosts festivals.

Nan Tien Institute - Wollongong Campus Official Opening
Nan Tien Institute (NTI) is Australia’s first government-accredited tertiary institution grounded in Buddhist values and wisdom. On 1 March 2015 NTI opened its second campus in Wollongong, about an hour south of Sydney.
NTI Wollongong Campus is a tertiary teaching facility, cultural centre and art gallery – and an architectural and engineering masterpiece.
The building was opened by the Hon. Tony Abbott MP, Prime Minister of Australia and Venerable Mast Hsing Yun, Founder of Fo Guang Shan and NTI, during a large community event.
The opening came after 15 years of planning, design and construction work, which included the ‘clean up’ of the previous rubbish tip on the land. The new community facility now rises from the ‘mud’, like the Buddhist symbol of the lotus flower that inspired the design of the building.
The building was designed by award-winning global design and consulting firm, Woods Bagot, and built by Australia’s largest and most successful private construction company, Richard Crookes Construction.
NTI’s postgraduate and professional development programs, which operated from the nearby Nan Tien Temple since 2011, are now offered in this new state-of-the-art facility. Some subjects in NTI’s Applied Buddhist Studies, and Health and Social Wellbeing Masters programs are also offered at NTI’s Sydney CBD campus, which also houses NTI’s English Language Centre.
NTI plans to continue to grow, with programs in development including undergraduate courses, further postgraduate options, and higher degree research programs. In addition, there are future campus development plans underway to support this planned growth.
NTI aims to be recognised internationally for its outstanding location, unique teaching program, world-renowned lecturers and researchers, and inspiring students.
