We welcome you, your family and friends to join us in welcoming the Thai New Year on Saturday, 13th April.

Māgha Pūjā Day commemorates a day during the first year of Lord Buddha’s teaching career when 1,250 Arahants (Enlightened monks) came together spontaneously without prior invitation, to pay respects to Lord Buddha. These Arahants were all personally ordained by Lord Buddha. Seeing that it was an assembly of purified monks, Lord Buddha preached to them the Ovāda-pāṭimokkha, a summary of the Dhamma. This summary has since been used as a synopsis of Lord Buddha’s teachings.

We welcome you, your family and friends to join us in commemorating this special occasion. See the poster for more details.

Join us to kick-off the New Year of 2024 to a good start by resolving to perform wholesome actions and letting go of unwholesome actions, and dedicating the merits accrued for the welfare of all beings 🙏

In memory of Phrakru Prakasa Dhammakhun, our late Founder, and other departed Sangha members of Palelai Buddhist Temple, our temple will be holding a special ceremony on the morning of Sunday, 17 December 2023. All are welcome to join.

We warmly welcome you, your family and friends to join us in celebrating the conclusion of the Rains Residence Retreat, also known as Kathina Day.

Did you know that Palelai does not have any paid cleaning staff? The entire temple is kept clean through the efforts of the resident Sangha and volunteers. This is a special opportunity to contribute to the cleanliness of the temple, and have fun meeting other folks who enjoy taking part in giving through service at the same time.

On this day, we commemorate Lord Buddha’s descent from Tāvatiṁsa Heaven at the end of the Rains Retreat after teaching his mother, Queen Mahāmāyā, the Abhidhamma.

We invite all devotees to join the Palelai Sangha to celebrate Āsāḷha Pūjā Day, which commemorates the day when Lord Buddha gave his first discourse (the Dhammacakkapavatta Sutta) to his first five disciples.

Join us to chant the qualities of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha 108 times, led by Phra Ong Junior. This practice helps to arouse energy to support the development of patience, mindfulness and faith.
