BLIA-YAD Melbourne is the acronym for Buddhaʼs Light International Association, Young Adult Division which is part of the global Buddhist Organisation, BLIA. We have three Melbourne BLIA-YAD divisions, consisting of BLIA-YAD 1 (Melbourne CBD), BLIA-YAD 2 (Yarraville) and BLIA-YAD 3 (Box Hill). We are made up of youths from diverse backgrounds who may not necessarily be Buddhists, but have come tog
ether to share the common interests of learning about Humanistic Buddhism. We achieve this by organising numerous activities throughout the year to promote the teachings of Buddha and adopt the philosophy in our daily lifestyle. With the present youths lost in directions, not knowing their purposes, mixing with the wrong crowds, wasting their lives away, BLIA-YAD was formed to help these people search for themselves, take responsibility for their own lives, develop the right vision towards their future, realising their dreams and become a value contributor to the community.
