Over the coming days we’ll be travelling with H.E. Dorje Denpa Rinpoche and Venerable Khyentse Kassapo, exploring some of Indonesia’s lesser-known Buddhist sites—places where history, practice and living tradition quietly come together.

This isn’t simply a sightseeing journey. It’s an opportunity for meditation, reflection and discovering that every true pilgrimage ultimately leads within.

One of the many powerful places we’ll visit is Joko Dolog in Surabaya. The statue is believed to depict the great Mahāsiddha of the southern hemisphere, known in the Tibetan tradition as Śrīvijaya, and in the Javanese tradition as Mpu Bharada. Royal chaplain to King Airlangga around 1019 CE, he is said to have made the statue himself before departing on a long meditation retreat. Originally located in Kediri, it was later moved to Surabaya.

Standing before the young Mpu Bharada, it doesn’t feel like you’re simply looking at an ancient stone statue. The atmosphere is extraordinary. There is a tangible presence—a reminder that the lives and practice of the great masters continue to inspire and support Buddhist practitioners today.

Recently offered Buddhist counselling alongside a gentle, Buddhist-inspired morning practice—supporting the whole person: body, mind, emotions, and connection with nature.
• Buddhist-inspired yoga to soften and steady the body
• Mindful breathing to meet emotion with kindness and clarity
• Deeply calming meditation to settle the mind and reconnect inwardly in a nature setting

Held with mettā (deep loving-kindness)—an invitation to return to the breath, soften the heart, and rest in our natural way of being. www.yulo-kopa.com, if you need a getaway.

Buddhist Pilgrimage in Bali.

Spending time in the Mahasiddha’s cave today—a place where one of the greatest masters of the southern hemisphere attained rainbow body.

There is something about practicing where awakened beings practiced… the environment itself becomes a reminder of our fullest potential.

A powerful reminder that when the place is conducive, practice becomes effortless, natural, and dynamic.

We’ve done it again!
The Buddhist Council of New South Wales and Buddhist Counselling have successfully supported and trained Peir, our newest Buddhist Chaplain at Junee Correctional Centre.

Her presence has been so warmly received by staff — a truly inspiring start for mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing in regional Australia.

As a Mahayana Buddhist practitioner, Peir brings deep understanding of the Dharma and compassionate approach that will enrich the lives of both inmates and staff alike.

What a wonderful time connecting in the Riverina region — and now, onward as we prepare to welcome and train our next chaplain!

A milestone for Buddhist chaplaincy in NSW

This year’s NSW Corrective Services Prison Chaplains Conference gathered the largest number of Buddhist chaplains ever. Our presence is growing — and so is our positive impact in multi-faith dialogue.

After a big session on mental health and selfcare from a secular lens, we came together as Buddhist chaplains to reflect on our own approach: embodied, integrated, holistic.

It was a rich, heartfelt conversation and a reminder that we must be vigilant. Vigilant in how we offer care, ensuring it always flows from the Dharma. At the heart of this is kalyāṇa-mitrata — spiritual friendship — without which there is no path, and no chaplaincy.

I want to say a big thank you to the Chaplaincy Coordinator and Corrective Services NSW for awarding me the COVID Service Medal for exemplary service during the 2020–2022 pandemic.

The medal is called ‘Always Forward’ (translated from Latin) and its silver design symbolises resilience, hope, and alertness in the face of adversity. But for me, this isn’t just a medal for showing up during COVID — it reflects the incredible work that Buddhist Chaplaincy was able to achieve, which also supported all other religions in Corrective Services NSW.

Video Chaplaincy Calls – When centres were closed to non-custodial staff, I was able to propose and trial virtual visits with inmates. What started as a Buddhist initiative became a state-wide service, and even today video calls are still helping inmates in regional prisons stay connected with a Chaplain.

Mind Breaks Magazine – Together with Chaplain Anna Carmody at Long Bay, we created a Buddhist magazine for inmates when we couldn’t physically be there. It offered Dharma, inspiration, and emotional support, and I’m thrilled that Mind Breaks is still going strong today.

Wellbeing Booklets – Chaplaincy also contributed to resources created by psychology teams during lockdowns, providing words of comfort and practical support for inmates facing long periods of isolation.

This medal is a reminder of what can be achieved through practicing compassion and working together in times of challenge.

History was made this NAIDOC Week in Port Macquarie.
It was an honour to be the first Buddhist chaplain to offer a community meditation during the celebrations — a quiet moment of reflection, grounding, and connection in the middle of such a vibrant, powerful day.

Held on the lands of the Biripi people, it was deeply meaningful to share a moment of stillness and respect in honour of the Elders, ancestors, and the enduring cultural wisdom of this land. People gathered with open hearts — many trying meditation for the first time — and the energy was just beautiful.

So much joy, laughter, community spirit and healing.

A heartfelt thank you to Community Corrections for the invitation and support. I’m truly grateful to be part of something this significant and look forward to continuing the journey with community across the Mid-North Coast.

This is just the beginning.

Kalyana Mitrata — Spiritual friendship.
The Buddhist path is not a lonely one. We are motivated to awaken not just for ourselves, but for the liberation of all beings.

Spiritual friendship isn’t just encouragement — it’s support. It’s a gentle reminder to practice: to live life with wisdom and compassion.

Join me for our next group meditation at @yulo_kopa . A space to breathe, a space for wellbeing.

Coming soon!

So moved!

Each person in this office represents someone who paused—just for a moment—to meditate, to reflect, and to truly contemplate life.

In doing so, they tapped into something powerful: their own potential. The potential to grow, to heal, to become a source of strength—not just for themselves, but for everyone around them.

This is what wellbeing chaplaincy in the workplace looks like: supportive, intentional, and deeply human.

When we witness growth like this, we rejoice. We celebrate the goodness within ourselves and each other. Because the truth is—we are not stuck.

The human mind is vast. Its potential? Infinite.
For change. For goodness.
For happiness—ultimate happiness.

Whether Buddhist or not, we all long to be happy. And when we learn new skills that support our wellbeing and actually integrate them into daily life, we don’t just transform our own world—we uplift our families, our colleagues, and our communities.

How wonderful.

As part of my ongoing work as a Buddhist Chaplain, I’m excited to be extending my outreach into Community Corrections and staff wellbeing programs — supporting not only those in custody but also the dedicated people who work alongside them.

Working holistically with staff, my focus is on cultivating mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing through compassionate listening, mindfulness tools, and values-based conversations. The overwhelming response has been positive — with many sharing how these quiet moments of reflection, calm, and human connection have helped them feel more supported, grounded, and resilient in their roles.

It’s a strong reminder that wellbeing isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. Especially in high-stress environments, support that speaks to the whole person can make all the difference.

If you’re part of an organisation seeking to embed genuine, values-led support into your workplace culture — whether in justice, health, or corporate settings — I’m always open to conversations around how chaplaincy and contemplative practices can complement your existing initiatives.

Let’s create workplaces where people don’t just cope — they thrive.

Welcoming Sofan – a New Light in Buddhist Chaplaincy

We’re so pleased to introduce Sofan, the newest chaplain joining the @buddhistcouncilofnsw (BCNSW) Buddhist Chaplaincy team. Currently training under the guidance of Buddhist Counselling, she’s immersing herself in the practical and compassionate approach of the BCNSW Chaplaincy Program.

Sofan’s chaplaincy journey is deeply supported—not only by the chaplaincy program, but also by her Buddhist community and the compassionate monastics at @nantientemple , who guide her in spiritual work with wisdom and clarity. With this solid foundation, she brings a gentle strength into her role.

Sofan’s wish is simple yet profound: to be a presence of care and calm for those inside. Her mission is to encourage the potential for wisdom and compassion in every person she meets—supporting the wellness, growth, and kindness that allow inmates and staff to not only care for themselves, but to contribute meaningfully to their communities inside and beyond the walls.

What BCNSW offers in correctional centres across NSW is not just chaplaincy—it’s a holistic path of transformation. Buddhist counselling and @buddhistcouncilofnsw chaplaincy together provide non-judgemental, practical, and deeply human support that reaches people from all walks of life, regardless of background or belief. Rooted in selflessness, we train to support without ego, to listen deeply, and to walk beside those navigating the hardest of times.

We’re not just helping inmates get through the day—we’re helping them recognise their innate human potential for wellbeing and lasting happiness.

What a Day at Yulo Kopa!
This past weekend, I had the joy of leading a truly memorable day retreat at the stunning Yulo Kopa in the Hastings Valley, near Port Macquarie.

30 wonderful guests joined me for a deep dive into the benefits of meditation, learning how to meditate, and sharing in guided sessions throughout the day. A real highlight was our Shinrin-Yoku forest bathing experience—a serene walk through Yulo Kopa’s breathtaking rainforest that left everyone feeling deeply grounded and connected.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with plenty of mingling, heartfelt chats, coffee, and nourishing snacks. It was a day full of calm, connection, and community.

Thank you to everyone who came along!
If you haven’t yet experienced the magic of Yulo Kopa, I encourage you to check it out at www.yulo-kopa.com.

Stay tuned for the next event—I can’t wait to welcome you. @yulo_kopa

Stepping into a new chapter of life as full-time Buddhist Chaplain at Mid North Coast Correctional Centre, and within the broader community, is a deep opportunity to support and nurture holistic wellbeing.

This work is about more than individual transformation—it’s about fostering a shared sense of social responsibility.

Through group and individual sessions, and working with both inmates, staff and community, there will be opportunities to explore practices that nurture mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

The focus is to cultivate healing and growth from within, recognising that true change uplifts not just the individual, but the whole community.

Chaplaincy Development: Launch of the Mind Unwind Program!

Buddhist Counselling and Buddhist Council of NSW prison chaplains are excited to announce the launch of Mind Unwind at Long Bay Correctional Centre. This four-week program is tailored for elderly inmates and those needing extra support.

Combining documentary screenings, group discussions, and guided meditation, Mind Unwind helps participants reflect on their experiences, build emotional resilience, and work through their own situations with greater self-awareness and emotional processing.

Inmates have already shown enthusiasm for the program, and we’re honoured to bring these opportunities for healing, connection, and personal growth into their lives.

Today I celebrated the end of the year with the chaplaincy team of various faiths and friends who have no particular faith, embodying the power of the oneness of humanity and the gift of generosity. Sharing a homemade dal makhani—taught to me by Venerable Khyentse—becomes an offering of dana (generosity), a key virtue in the six paramitas and Buddhist practice. This act reflects the heart of giving and fostering connection. Giving makes me happy too! 🙏🏻

In a world full of noise and constant connection, solitude might feel daunting. But the Buddha’s teachings on the Three Forms of Blissful Aloneness (Tri Vivekas) reveal that solitude isn’t isolation—it’s a gateway to peace, joy, and freedom.

The Buddha reminds us: “The mind of an enlightened one dwells in seclusion and delights in letting go.”

A sacred sanctuary surrounded by gentle nature. A self-retreat, for healing, deep restoration, and a quiet space to nourish your being.

In this peaceful space, you can release and cultivate stillness, clarity, and renewal. It was more than just relaxation; it’s reconnection with nature.

Yulo Kopa is a place to not only rest, but to heal and transform. If you seek renewal then this is a space where deep restoration and rejuvenation naturally unfold. www.yulo-kopa.com

Here in Habay-La-Neuve, Belgium, connecting with Buddhist friends and receiving invaluable wisdom from Venerable Khyentse. Being a Buddhist isn’t about labels or identity—it’s about immersing yourself in the teachings, learning from the Sangha, and cultivating and integrating wisdom and compassion in daily life. It’s a lifelong commitment to a holistic, meaningful, and ethical way of living, perfecting body, speech, and mind step by step.

Exploring Croatia with Venerable Khyentse was an unforgettable journey of Dharma, meditation, and meaningful connection. Staying in the enchanting baroque town of Varazdin, we wandered cobbled streets, admired the fairytale castle, and enjoyed the most delicious vegetarian-friendly cuisine. In every moment, we experienced kaliana mitrata—spiritual friendship—surrounded by like-minded friends. Grateful for these shared moments and the beauty of Varaždin.

Being a Buddhist chaplain is a journey of continual learning and deepening compassion. In Buddhism, we commit to lifelong growth, allowing our understanding to guide our service in the community authentically. Whenever possible, I travel to learn directly from my teachers, ensuring that the support I bring to others—especially those in NSW prisons—is rooted in true Dharma. Today, I’m in the UK with Venerable Khyentse, absorbing his vast knowledge of Buddhism. With his guidance, I can carry forward insights to support others. #BuddhistChaplain #LifelongLearning #DharmaJourney #CompassionInAction #NSWPrisons #BuddhistTeachings #bcnsw #meditation #happiness #mindfulness #buddhistcounselling #mindfulservice

An incredible milestone! The first-ever Buddhist Chaplains and Spiritual Care Workers conference in Australia brought together diverse speakers from all Buddhist traditions for deep discussions, healing workshops, and spiritual care. Held at the serene Temple on the Park, this collaboration with the Buddhist Council of NSW created a transformative space for learning and connection. A profound journey of wisdom, compassion, and service. #BuddhistChaplains #SpiritualCare #TempleOnThePark #BCNSW #HealingThroughCompassion #BuddhismInAction #MindfulService @rigpa_australia @buddhistcouncilofnsw

I recently visited the Forensic Hospital at Long Bay, operated by NSW Justice Health. This specialised facility supports individuals who need care beyond a traditional correctional centre environment, emphasising health and compassionate care. Buddhist chaplaincy has long been a guiding presence here, fostering a strong interfaith partnership with the resident Christian Chaplain, who warmly welcomed me.

The hospital’s approach reframes correctional care—‘patients’ are treated by skilled Justice Health nurses, focusing on wellbeing. Buddhist Counselling in collaboration with Buddhist Council of NSW commitment to Chaplaincy aims to enhance support within this unique space, working together to provide Dharma and healing. #ChaplaincyCare #BuddhistSupport #buddhistcounselling #RehabilitationNotPunishment #patients #forensic

Buddhist Counselling is thrilled to have partnered with Holiday Inn Parramatta, the Buddhist Council of NSW, and Mental Health First Aid Australia to facilitate a training day for chaplains working in hospitals and prisons!

This initiative helps Buddhist chaplains enhance their skills in recognising and supporting mental health needs early on.

A big thank you to facilitator Nygell, who generously donated his time and expertise, bringing energy, wisdom, and compassion to this important day. We’re excited to see our chaplains leading the way in providing mental health care and support in their roles.
