Thai Temples in North America
This
is a list of Thai Temples in North America, and is from the DhamaNet Web
site. It is current as of March 1, 2001, but if you have any updates,
please E-MAIL US to let us
know.
The terms "Maha Nikaya" and "Dhamayutti Nikaya" refer to the two prinicipal
sects of modern Thai Buddhism. To generalise, the Dahmayutti Nikaya sect
of Theravada Buddhism is more strict than the Maha Nikaya sect. (To learn
more about the differences, please CLICK HERE.)
The
temples may have classes in the Thai language and arts, or may have different
weekly activities and holiday celebrations, available to the public. On
the other hand, some temples may be rather strictly focused on meditation
and Dharma instruction. It is best to either visit the temple's Web site,
e-mail or call ahead to find out whether visitors are welcome.
To learn more about the Thai forest meditation traditions, see the Access
to Insight Theravada text archives.
Disclaimer
By
including a Dhamma center or group in these listings we are in no way
endorsing their teachers, teachings, policies, politics, or activities.
They are included here simply because I think they may be useful starting
points in your quest for good teachings from the Theravada traditions.
The final judgment is yours alone.
