Wat Buddhamanee Rattanaram

"Peaceful place to be. Highly recommend for dharma learning and meditation"

"Ya ever been a new person at something who, after a while, felt like they absolutely did not belong in an environment/dynamic where it seemed like everyone else around you was just hitting it off with one another right off the bat (and in an environment/dynamic you perceived was SUPPOSEDLY built to foster that shared aura of love and compassion)? The group sits down to a meal after meditation. I stayed to "fellowship" and break bread afterwards a few times and, in every instance -- especially if I spoke up in agreement or related to what another participant was talking about -- I'd get these side glances or ignored like I had three heads. Now, it could just have been the way oversensitive empath part of me reacting to those feelings at the time, but I seriously don't believe I'd ever felt more excluded or let down as a "newbie" in an environment/dynamic in which exclusion is largely viewed as a negative attribute of being/learning about Buddhism."

"Wonderful people and so accepting. Metta and many blessings to Cherokee Buddhist temple."

"Love the Peace and Tranquility inside the Temple!! Extremely loving and caring!! Wil definitely be back!!"

"Beautiful Temple. Friendly and welcoming place. Daily meditation at 6 am. Sunday 930 meditation and talk."
