Simon255 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi, A quick one. Looks like I'm stopping in BKK (elsewhere Thai later) for a while. Just starting to pick up some language all be it slowly. Anyway, I feel a bit ignorant about buddhism and I like to know if there are schools or temples geared up to teach the basics in English. Maybe it will be a good thing for me ,but I'd just like to understand more. I'd like to learn to meditiate too. Location Klong Tan at the moment.

sabaijai Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Or if you can't get out of BKK for whatever reason, there's a meditation centre at Wat Mahathat where you can get instruction in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabaijai Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Temple of the Great Relic, right? Although Relive has a nice ring to it. The International Buddhist Meditation Centre at Wat Mahathat is at Section 5, a building near the monks' residences. Free of charge, instruction in English available. If you spend the night there you'll need white clothing, but they can provide or arrange for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
