Visiting the Mahamevnawa Buddhist Temple in Surrey, British Columbia was a truly serene and enlightening experience. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I was welcomed by a sense of tranquility that enveloped the entire temple. The resident monks radiate wisdom and warmth, making it easy to engage in meaningful conversations and learn about their practices. I highly recommend visiting this temple to anyone in search of spiritual growth, mindfulness, and a connection with a vibrant and welcoming community. A hidden gem in Surrey, the Mahamevnawa Buddhist Temple is a treasure trove of peace and enlightenment. 🌸🧘♂️🌿

I had the privilege of visiting the Mahamewnawa Temple in Vancouver on the auspicious occasion of Vesak full moon day, a significant celebration in the Buddhist calendar. The temple was vibrant with festivities, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and devotion. The highlight of my visit was the delicious dansal (free food giveaway), which was generously provided to all visitors. It was a wonderful way to connect with the community and experience the spirit of generosity and kindness that Buddhism embodies. What impresses me most about this temple is its commitment to sharing Buddhist teachings with the younger generation. The Sunday school program is an excellent way for children to learn about Buddhist values and principles, and I highly recommend it to parents seeking to instill these values in their kids. Additionally, the temple offers a peaceful and serene environment for observing sil (Buddhist meditation and reflection), making it an ideal spot for spiritual growth and development. Overall, my experience at Mahamewnawa Temple was truly enriching, and I look forward to visiting again. If you're a Buddhist seeking a community that embodies the true spirit of Buddhism, or simply looking for a peaceful oasis in the city, this temple is a must-visit.

1. A place of serenity and peace. 2. The Monk is welcoming and you will definitely feel good vibes. 3. Members are very much welcoming. 4. Sunday evening 5pm program consists of reading Buddha Parita. 5. Disclaimer: attendees are mostly sinhala language speaking, so you may feel a bit out-of-box if you are attending the Sunday evening session. However, there are English Parita books as well that you can use. 6. Please go to this place if you are into meditation, are looking for peace. Everyone here is so welcoming- please ask anyone for a help- you will be delighted to know such warm hearted people ❤️

This is a place to obtain a superior knowledge about the Theravada Buddhism and it's applications for a successful, meaningful and practical life by talking to conversant resident monks. The Most Venerable Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero is the founder of this Mahamevnawa Therawada Buddhist practice centre which is a real mirror image of well disciplined ancient Therawada Practice of Supreme Gauthama Buddha's era. A magnificent place with wonderful Buddhist monks who are dedicated for path to Nibbana. We are really grateful to have a branch from Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
