Buddhist Temple Of The Holy Triad

in 1953, the first attempt was made to organize anglo- australian buddhist activity in brisbane, through the foundation of the buddhist society of queensland. the high point of the buddhist society's brief period of activity was the april 1955 visit to brisbane of the first internationally known buddhist teacher, the venerable narada maha there. despite the success of the visit, the society's numbers dwindled and it ceased to function after 1956.

the most important influence on the growth of buddhism in brisbane was the arrival, from the late 1970s, of immigrants from buddhist countries; in particular vietnam, malaysia, cambodia, and thailand.
