DharmaNet's Guide to
Thai Temples in North America
The following list of Thai Buddhist temples in North America was originally prepared
by Sorrayut Ratanapojnard, with corrections and additions made by Joy Aswalap.
In the summer of 1996 Joy kindly gave John Bullitt the opportunity to update and
maintain this list, which is based on her June 1994 edition (and which was originally
downloaded from NECTEC's ftp site in Thailand). In February 1998, DharmaNet International
agreed to continue the maintainance of this list. It has since been updated based
upon information provided by the Thai Bhikkhus Council. If you know of any corrections
or updates, please contact us.
The terms "Maha Nikaya" and "Dhamayutti Nikaya" refer to the two
prinicipal sects of modern Thai Buddhism.
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 I am 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.
