Welcome to Gold Coast Dharma Realm!  GCDR is home to Shurangama Monastery and is an affiliate of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association USA, which was founded by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua (1918-1995) more than 50 years ago.  At GCDR we strive to provide a space for Buddhist education and spiritual practice.  Visitors are welcome to join us for meditation classes, mantra and sutra sessions, evening lectures on Buddhism, or a pure vegetarian lunch.   We also have an extensive library of Buddhist texts to explore.
