Notes and Events:

In late 2003, a collective of Minnesota Buddhists gathered with the intention of of creating a space for worship and community. A generous donation made by Ms. Supen Harrison helped make this desire a reality. Over the next two years, donations made by members of the new temple amounted to $49,880. Further funds were donated by Doctor Lueng Pho Singtun Narasupol. A house was purchased in Becker, MN and the temple was named Wat Pha Nanachat.

In 2005 Lueng Pho Singtun traveled to Thailand to help with an irrigation project sponsored by the King of Thailand. Phra Mahaphaisit Tamasol arrived at the temple to serve as a substitute in his place. Phra Ajarn Mahaphaisit and the temple board elected to move to a more convenient and appropriate location. The name of the temple was changed to Wat Thai of Minnesota, and in 2006 Khun Sutape Ple-Plakon and the board members purchased land and a house in Elk River, MN.

Today the temple monks, the Buddhist laity, and board members work together to maintain Wat Thai of Minnesota as a center of Buddhist study, meditation, and community activities for all.

Notes and Events:

With communities and centers located in the United States and Europe, ZEN GARLAND offers experienced teachers and a warm and welcoming community devoted to spiritual and human development focused on each practitioner’s engagement with their personal lives in the world. We welcome beginners, accomplished practitioners and Zen teachers to gather together with us in a holistic and creative approach to Zen and life that emerges from our realization: the direct experience that human nature is the very nature of all creation, a unitary multiverse of intimate interaction and interconnection.

Our teachers work individually with committed students on site and in distance-learning formats. Our teaching style is personal, addressing all aspects of a practitioner’s life with holistic, skill-based practices. The curriculum we offer in personal dialogues, classes, workshops, retreats and social action projects are carefully crafted and integrated, reflecting the venerable tradition of Zen complemented by modern psychology, science and philosophy.

We aspire to embody care and compassion for all creation because it is ourselves. The way we practice, the way we teach and the way we work together is expressed in the Zen Garland Vows and our Seven Core Practices.
