Discover inner peace through ancient Buddhist meditation techniques
At Wat Thaton, we offer authentic Buddhist meditation practices rooted in centuries of wisdom. Our teachings focus on Vipassana meditation based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, providing both beginners and experienced practitioners with structured guidance toward inner peace and spiritual awakening.
Practice Satipatthana Vipassana (Insight Meditation in line with the 4 Foundations of Mindfulness), the core meditation technique that develops clear awareness of body, feelings, mind, and mental objects.
Practice walking meditation sessions lasting approximately 40 minutes, focusing mindful attention on each step and movement while walking slowly along designated paths in our temple grounds.
Traditional sitting meditation sessions of 20-25 minutes, practicing mindfulness of breathing and developing concentration in our peaceful meditation hall surrounded by mountain serenity.
Short lying meditation sessions of 10 minutes, practicing body awareness and relaxation while maintaining mindful attention to present-moment sensations.
Join our structured daily practice sessions guided by experienced monks and meditation teachers.
Mindfulness Meditation is accessible to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. One need not be a Buddhist to meditate and reap its host of benefits, which include reduced anxiety and stress, improved sleep quality, and enhanced overall happiness.
Our meditation sessions welcome practitioners of all levels, from complete beginners to those with years of experience. The key is approaching practice with an open heart, patience with yourself, and commitment to regular attendance.
During your time at the temple, we emphasize that you shouldn't talk or even look at people, because you are not there to socialize, but to learn and deepen your meditation practice in noble silence.
