We hold a monthly ceremony and event according to holy days of Buddhism (Magha Puja, Visakha Puja, Asalha Puja, Atthami Puja etc.) and the tradition and festivals of Thailand (Songkran, Sart, and Loy Krathong etc.).

We offer the flexibility to members and guests to schedule their own time for attedning our daily routine and taking meditation course. We also provide off-site religious services upon requests of the hosts; these services include but not limited to blessing a house, blessing a business, blessing the sick, funeral chanting, memorial chanting, legal and immigration counselling, and so on.

The temple functions as the monastery for the monks and monastic personnel and the recreational and socializational place for the community members. Members and guests may occasionally ask to hold their personal events and group parties at our temple. Members and guests can contribute to the temple by donation of money and gifts upon their pleasures. Please call us at: (803) 469-2494 to make an appointment for your visit and to ask for the direction to our temple. Please bear in mind that most of our ministers and monastic personnel are Thai and mainly speak Thai; they do not speak English fluently. Therefore, you are required to speak slowly and clearly when talking with them personally or on the phone.
