Oklahoma Buddhist Center
|
Oklahoma Buddhist Center is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the study and practice of the teachings of the Buddha.
Our resident monks
are trained in
the Theravada tradition, but we invite Buddhists of all traditions to
practice with us.
The Oklahoma Buddhist Center planted
its first seed in May of 2007 with the visit of Venerable Sathindriya from
Minnesota. We nourished that first
seedling with the help of Venerable Piyarathana, who arrived in September
of 2007. We were able to conduct
our services in various locations such as the local Thai temple.
Before long, we were kindly offered a facility by one of our friend.
Over the next two years,
the Center grew tremendously in its membership and Dhamma activities.
We were able to begin the new year
of 2010 by purchasing a place of our own, through the generosity of all
the members, well-wishers and numerous supporters of the Oklahoma Buddhist
Center.
To our joy, two new
teachers have joined us at the Oklahoma Buddhist Center: Venerable
Yasassi and Venerable Chandananda
Through the work of these resident monks and our sangha members, we
have established this new Center to serve all who seek the light of the
Buddhist teachings and world peace.
The Center operates solely on donations. Dana, the
generosity of laypeople, is used to maintain the Center and cover the
monks’ living expenses. Everyone is welcome. Please invite anyone
you know who is interested to visit and practice with us.
