Visit to the Buddhist Society of Manchester
On December 1st 2018, the monks and temple supporters travelled to Sale, Greater Manchester to meet with members of the Buddhist Society of Manchester
The Buddhist Society of Manchester was founded in 1951, making it the second oldest Buddhist organisation in the country. In 1954 its members supported Venerable Kappilavaddho to travel to Thailand to become the first westerner there to ordain as a Buddhist monk, under the tutelage of Luangpu of Wat Paknam. Dhammakaya and the Buddhist Society of Manchester thus share a common lineage
Everyone present had an opportunity to meet, followed by a meditation led by Phra Ak and the presentation of gifts
Parking at the Temple
When visiting the temple please use the carpark whenever possible
At busy times, such as Wednesday evening meditation classes, please consider our neighbours
We ask that you don’t park across the road from the temple gate. Thank you
