The temples in and around Chiang Mai were the most beautiful serene places. I have to really go all that way to experience the atmosphere.

Travel codes are a great way to get discount travel no matter which way you decide to move from state to state, or country to country.

    I visited a Buddhist temple once outside of Seoul. The temple grounds had been there for some eight hundred years, but the buildings had been destroyed during the Korean war. They rebuilt it as close to original as they could after the war ended. It was an interesting place.

    If I grew a long beard, wore a robe, and walked around with a staff would I appear more sagely, and wise?

    What I’m getting at is that Buddhism is an idea, and it shouldn’t matter if the temple doesn’t look like the ones you’ve imagined. A person, once they’ve glimpsed the divine, learns to leave all these man-made distinctions behind.

    The link below gives you access to many Buddhist temples in the U.K. The temples are grouped by tradition — Zen (19) Theravada (24), etc.

    If you’re looking for temples that will feel most like what you experienced in Thailand, you’ll want to go to those that serve a mostly Asian immigrant population.

    Temples and centers that serve native Brits tend to adapt to whatever situation they find themselves in — I’ve been to Zen centers in tiny basements, just past the washing machines and old bicycles.
