This is my home temple - Wat Phra Yayang. Fate brought us together and everytime I go back there I felt I'm growing up with the temple, I've learnt so much from Phra Maha Lertsak and will continue my efforts in raising the building funds for the Viharn.
Wat Phra Yayang conducts meditation class. For anyone who is interested in learning, Wat Phra Yayang conducts two classes daily - 1.30pm and 6.00pm. Teaches "Breathing" method of meditation that helps to purify your body and soul. "Walking" and "Standing" meditation classes for the intermediate learners are also available. If you are keen to stay for days, weeks or months the temple provides simple accomodation as well. Do contact me in the "comments" if you are interested to learn more about meditation.
