The New Zealand Dharma Celebration will be hosted by Kadampa Meditation Centre Auckland at Taitamariki Girl Guiding Hall, Takapuna, Auckland

Auburn Reserve 8 Auburn Street, Takapuna, Auckland 0622, New Zealand

Transportation

If you are flying into Auckland for the Dharma Celebration the airport bus takes you to Sky City ($17) and then you can get the number 82 bus to Takapuna (or the NX2 with a shorter ride but longer walk). You must buy an AT Hop card $25* ($20 credit loaded) at the airport first in order to use bus 82 & NX2. The 82 & NX2 bus ($1.97) is on Wellesley St West, 2 minutes walk from where the airport bus stops at Sky City. You can use the AT app for up to date bus arrival information. Each section of the journey will take about 40 minutes, so 1.5 – 2 hours all up if traffic is good.

*Tip: multiple people can use 1 At Hop card, by tagging on, and then asking the driver to issue tickets for the other people.

Airport Bus details can be found here.
