SUMMARY:What's What in Wat Suan Dok- with Phra KK
DESCRIPTION:What are the different parts of a Thai Buddhist temple–the areas\, buildings\, objects? How is the ordination hall used? Does every wat have a scripture library?\nJoin Lifelong Learning Payap for a specially-arranged lecture and tour on Thursday\, July 3\, led by Buddhist monk and teacher the Venerable Phra Kyo Kyo\, who teaches Buddhism in English regularly at Wat Suan Dok’s Monk Chats. Phra KK has presented Buddhism to over ten thousand people of all nationalities and backgrounds over the past ten years. \nPhra KK has generously offered to explain and answer questions about the different areas\, buildings\, and activities that make up life at any temple\, as well as those traditions\, facilities\, and functions particular to Wat Suan Dok. \nThe Venerable Phra will take us on a tour of the temple grounds. He will highlight significant objects as well as elements of Hindu and animist influences found throughout the Wat. \nThailand’s Buddhist temples\, or wats\, serve a variety of religious\, educational\, and social needs. Wats give shelter to monks and novices\, organize their interaction with the lay public\, and support the religious and cultural life of the people. Thai temples operate schools\, host community events\, run welfare programs\, and preserve ancient traditions. While most temples around the country have the same important elements in common\, each wat is unique. \nThere are over 300 temples in the city of Chiang Mai. Wat Suan Dok\, founded in 1370\, has a long history and special place in Chiang Mai’s culture and identity. It is a center for Buddhist teaching\, practice\, and public programming. At the national level\, the Wat has Royal recognition\, and houses the Chiang Mai campus of the Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University. \nThis English-language presentation will be in the Monk Chat office just up (south) from the sala across from the large meditation hall under construction. \n \n \nCOST: 350 THB

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Buddhism with Phra KK
DESCRIPTION:Description\nLifelong Learning Payap presents An Introduction to Buddhism\, a special lecture by the Venerable Phra Kyo Kyo\, of Wat Suan Dok in Chiang Mai\, known for his Monk Chats in English with international audiences. \nPhra KK will recount the story of the Buddha. Siddhartha Gautama was born almost 2500 years ago\, a prince in the klan of Sakya\, in the lowlands of present-day Nepal. He left home as a young man in search of ultimate truth\, spending the rest of his life as an itinerant monk and teacher. He walked from place to place\, each year retreating from the monsoon rains to instruct an ever-growing retinue of followers. By the end of his life\, around the age of 80\, he was regarded as a Buddha– a fully enlightened human being who through insight and effort had escaped the cycle of birth\, death\, and rebirth. \nThe Buddha’s insight to the human condition\, the behavior of the mind\, the nature of karma\, and composition of reality have had a profound influence on human history ever since. \nWhat did Siddhartha Gautama discover and what did he teach?\nThe Venerable Phra Kyo Kyo has introduced Buddhism to more than 10\,000 people over ten years through Wat Suan Dok’s Monk Chat program. \nAfter Phra KK presents he will guide a short meditation\, then answer questions. \nThis English-language presentation will be held in the Monk Chat office just up (south) from the sala across from the large meditation hall under construction. \nCOST: 350 THB
