Sakya Losal Choe Dzong (SLCD), the Tibetan Buddhist Society of Canberra was founded in 1989 by Lama Choedak Rinpoche in Canberra. SLCD is one of the most established Buddhist centres in Australia. Being aligned with the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, SLCD is under the patronage of His Holiness Sakya Trizin and His late Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche.

Through Lama Choedak Rinpoche's spiritual directorship the practice of Calm Abiding Meditation, Ngondro preliminaries, White Tara, Vajrayogini and Hevajra have all been promoted over the last twenty years.
