Buddhist Orientation
The meditation centre at the 13th Buddhist Community Development Centre (BCDC) at Wat Sriboonruang, Fang, Chiang Mai, Thailand is a place for the practice of vipassana meditation in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, led by Venerable Clyde Jarudhammo.
During your stay with us at the BCDC, you will have the chance to learn more about Buddhism, practice vipassana meditation and join your fellow guests in participating in the morning and evening group chanting and meditation sessions.
Unlike traditional meditation retreats, which are often held to a strict schedule, in absolute silence and with very little guidance for those new to Buddhism and meditation, we strongly encourage a level of mindful and respectful social interaction between our guests, monks and the lay people of the temple and our local community.
