The NZ Maitri Centre Project

A Maitri Centre is an extremely high vibration space which welcomes all those who are seeking truth, peace, wisdom & unity. It is a deeply sacred place dedicated to sharing the Maitri Dharma teachings, under the divine guidance of Mahasambodhi Dharmasangha Guru. May all beings enjoy eternal happiness, love & peace!

As we understand it, a Maitri Centre amplifies the connection to Source/Creator/Paramatma/Bhagawan/God energies, so that visitors can enjoy a deeply loving & peaceful connection with Maha MaitriNath (the Great Light of Maitri). Whilst staying in a Maitri Centre, each person is being divinely invited to bathe in the Maitri energies, which very naturally accelerates the process of healing, purification and ascension. 

On behalf of all beings, we hope & pray that a Maitri Centre will soon manifest here in New Zealand. May the beautiful Maitri feeling (maitribhav) radiate lovingly and infinitely for all living beings in creation and may all beings attain mukti-moksha!
From April 2025, the NZ Maitri Centre Project will be managed & overseen by BSDS NZ (of which Marty & Gerry are also trustees). For more detailed information on the NZ Maitri Centre, please visit the below webpages:

The Journey So Far ...

2012
Love Inspiration is created. Marty & Gerry are introduced to Maitri Centres in Nepal.
In 2012, Love Inspiration was created and in the years that followed, Marty & Gerry received many ascension based healing energies & Higher Consciousness based healing systems. During this time, Marty & Gerry were also guided to travel to Nepal many times, to stay in places where Mahasambodhi Dharmasangha Guru was living at the time. These places would soon become known as Sacred Maitri Dharma Precincts or Maitri Centres. 

2017
The Maitri Foundation charity is created & begins the Maitri Centre Project.  
In March 2017, during the Maitri Dharma Maha Puja celebrations in Nepal, Marty & Gerry received the joyful blessings of Mahasambodhi Dharmasangha Guru to establish the Maitri Foundation charitable organisation. This organisation was formally set up later that year and became the home of both Love Inspiration & the New Zealand chapter of Bodhi Shrawan Dharma Sangha (BSDS NZ), and also the home of the NZ Maitri Centre project.

2020
The first Maitri Building with Maitri Altar Room is constructed in NZ . 
A few years after creating the Maitri Foundation charity, COVID hit the world and Marty & Gerry were divinely invited to return to New Zealand. During this time, they were guided to design and start construction on the first Maitri Building. This first building was of paramount importance because it housed the Maitri Dharma Altar, which would then start to radiate the Maha Maitri Light for the benefit of all beings. 

2023
Work commences on a new organisation structure for Love Inspiration & BSDS NZ.  
About 6 years after the Maitri Foundation charity had been created, Marty & Gerry started to intuitively feel that Love Inspiration & BSDS NZ should have their own individual charitable organisations i.e. one charity for Love Inspiration & one charity for BSDS NZ. This would become highly relevant for the NZ Maitri Centre Project because under the new structure, BSDS NZ would become the entity responsible for creating, managing & overseeing the Maitri Centre project, with Love Inspiration continuing to offer its love & support for this divinely uplifting project.

2024/25
BSDS NZ is now the home of the NZ Maitri Centre project.
During 2024, the new Love Inspiration charity was established. And then, from 1st April 2025, all of the Love Inspiration activities and operations were lovingly transferred into the new Love Inspiration charity. Soon after that, the Maitri Foundation charity was renamed to Bodhi Shrawan Dharma Sangha New Zealand (BSDS NZ) and BSDS NZ became the organisation responsible for managing & overseeing the NZ Maitri Centre project, noting again that Love Inspiration will continue to take on a supportive role as this project continues to evolve.
