ABOUT US
Founded in 2005, the Uganda Buddhist Centre is dedicated to providing a place of refuges for those seeking spiritual growth and transformation .
We offer teachings and practices rooted in the Buddha’s times wisdom fostering a supportive community for all.
The aim of UBC is to introduce and preserve the Buddha’s teachings within the context of African culture, and to exemplify the Buddhist practice through humanitarian services to the public.
Presently, UBC achieves this through organizing meditation retreats, its social services, and through the activities of promoting world peace.
Singapore is known as the Lion City, and the lion is also a prominent symbol in Africa. In Uganda, the royal clans use the lion as their emblem, which is why our documentary.
“Lion’s Roar, Africa” is an eye-opening film that reveals the flourishing of Buddhism in Africa. I was unaware of the extent of Buddhist practices there until now. This documentary is not only award-winning but also educational.
