WORDS FROM VEN.PIYA, HEAD MONK

GREETING MESSAGE

Hello and welcome to our temple website, it’s always a real joy for us to meet and have new friends. Here you will find useful information about our believe. Our mission is leading people in a growing relationship with Buddha. Please come and practice with us the way of life.

Whatever that next step is, it’s time to take a bold step of faith out of your comfort zone and discover what Buddha has for you. We believe that you can’t go with Buddha and stay where you are.

General Information

Faith Common Questions

Are you vegetarian ?
As Buddhist monks, our life depends on the people and we take what people give us, then we can choose what is appropriate for us. In Thailand early morning the monks will go for an alms-round and come back to the temple having the food which they got.

Should I be Buddhist?

No, you don’t have to. Just live you normal life as you do before. You come, learn, and practice. If it’s good for you, take it, if it’s not let it go.

What do I do when I Get There?

Ring the bell and knock the door. Come inside, talk to the monks and practice.
