Wat Phra Dhammakaya London

This is a Thai Buddhist temple. It’s the first time for me to try Buddhist style medication on Tuesday evening. The staff are very nice and the monk is working hard to teach us introduction of medication. After the lesson, I did feel much more relaxing. Thanks for organizing the lesson

I took my wife and people there were very very nice

Plain and simple teachingGentle and comforting inviramentHighly recomended

Calming and soothing-guess we all need some meditation in our lives.

Absolutely amazing experience. Highly relaxing and informative.

A very beautiful place with a wonderful, warm-hearted and very friendly community.

I love being here Every Tuesday and Thursday it's a true joy x

Racism by the priest. After going 3 to 4 meditation sessions I thought this was a safe haven to meditate & meet like minded people. Still in shock from last Thursdays 16th March experience I felt that I need to speak about this so others don't have a similar ordeal and are made to feel unwelcome and unsupported.As we finished the meditation session the priest went on to speak about the Bhudha and the core values of compassion, love and so forth, he then went into talking about an Indian man cold-calling him & selling him gas/electricity fraudulently he then continued in the congregation trying to mockingly mimic him and an Indian accent and then completed his story by telling everyone that if an Indian ever calls you dont trust them. I was absolutely shocked and at first didn't know what to say but had to respond as I was the ONLY Indian sitting in that meditation group. I looked around and saw a couple of very surprised faces but no one said anything. I eventually called out to the prient and said, we are not all as bad as you think. There was a half hearted apology when a woman who may be a committee member realised and took me to the priest after we had finished & said there's been a misunderstanding, he then said sorry but I said that was totally uncalled for and I did not feel welcome so will be leaving now. As I sat outside to put my shoes on a couple of white gentleman came up to me & said that probably came out wrong by the priest so I asked what about the mocking and putting on of the Indian accent? They had no answer and looked down. An ignorant white woman who came and sat next to me putting on her shoes said how she found that really funny and laughed! I wonder if she would have laughed if she was Indian, and the only one in that group. I am shocked that this so called priest is allowed to teach children's group too, What kind of values is he teaching them? Does he even have a DBS check & public liability insurance? Where are the core ethics, values, morals by which he should be leading himself first. Might I remind him that Bhudha was an Indian from Indian, also the country & people that have given a home, freedom to the Dali Lama are Indian. I'm saddened that after my experience that even the temple staff/members didn't have to courtesy to reach out to me via email telephone hence me writing this to warn others.

Daughter and son have both enjoyed visits over the years with Beavers/Cubs
