On a breezy afternoon, my friends and I dropped by Panyanantaram Temple (or Wat Panyanantharam, located in Pathumthani, Thailand), a pleasantly wooded and shady temple of a design and layout typical of Buddhadhasa heritage. This temple was founded by the senior Bhikkhu Panyanandamuni, who with Bhikkhu Buddhadasa were active in reforming Buddhism in Thailand to bring the practice back to Buddha's ways and to teach the Buddhists to give up superstitious rites and rituals. The founder, the…See More

There are various ways to celebrate it and one of the ways to start the day is to...meditate (what else). But in the inner spirit needs more sustenance than meditation. So in the spirit of the what happened to the Siddhartha Gautama…
