This is mainly catered for the Cambodian community which follows Theravada Buddhism ( the first teachings) and this might be the reason they have a little online presence. I'd give them a call if your interested about it but don't be shocked if you get the 3rd degree either as their have been robberies happening to mainly Southeast Asian Buddhist temples in other states and word gets around
Hi! Open to the public, and they will not care that you’re white. It’s mostly in Khmer, but I’m sure a teacher will accommodate in English. Chants are in Pali Sanskrit (ti sarana, buddham saranam gachami, etc etc). And yes to food donations for the monks :)
Are group meditations/dharma talks open to the public? Would they care if I lean more towards Mahayana but still would like their talks? Do they have monks/nuns and do they take food donations? Would they care if I'm white? Are Dharma talks in English?
I’ve never been there but if you’re a Mahayana person there’s https://benevolentzen.org that used to meet at the ƯU on benefit st. Or if you have a car http://providencezen.org is in Cumberland and is open daily
