Fondazione Maitreya Milano

Fondazione Maitreya Milano is an emanation of Fondazione Maitreya, a Buddhist cultural institute based in Rome. It is not affiliated with any of the Buddhist schools that exist today in Italy: its purpose is to promote and support the Buddhist teachings of all traditions.
Recognized as a moral entity with D.M. 29.3.1991, it is the most important cultural institution for the promotion of the knowledge of the Dhamma (law, teaching) in Italy. It was founded by one of the most prominent figures in the history of Buddhism in our country: Vincenzo Piga (1921-1998). In addition to Rome and Milan, there is also a group in Naples.
Fondazione Maitreya Milano was founded in 2007 from an idea of the master Flavio Pelliconi (1950-2021) who led it as a teacher and organizer until his death. Since May 2021, Flavio's assistants and students have been carrying on the activities of the Foundation to the best of their ability.
Fondazione Maitreya Milano organizes events, initiatives, workshops and courses to promote the knowledge and practice of Buddhism in a unitary and universalist perspective, without any profit or proselytism.
Participation is open to everyone, free and free of charge. Nothing is due for the teachings, which are given free of charge. Fondazione Maitreya Milano and its Sangha are supported by the free offerings of students who practice Dāna.
