Our temple is the first tunnel temple in the world. It is the largest Buddhist temple built in recent times. Artistic creations of the temple from Buddha statues and Buddhist frescoes. I invite you to pay homage to this sacred place.
Buddhism is not only an abstract philosophy. It considers the emotions as well as the intellect and creates a new understanding of the world through art and culture.
Meditation is one of the greatest ways to obtain inner peace and harmony. It is believed that meditation helps to accustom mind to positive thinking and calmness. When our mind is serene, it means that we are free from stress and open to true happiness. Everyone is invited to join our meditation lesson and enjoy the process.
