Excerpt
Excerpt: In 1975, a magnificent Victorian house, now known as Wat Buddharangsee, was purchased in the inner city suburb of Stanmore. The opening ceremony, on Vesak Day, 25th May, 1975, was performed by his Royal Highness, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn, in the presence of His Highness Ven. Somdet Phra Nyansamvara, the Buddhist Patriarch and ten visiting Bhikkhus (monks) from Thailand. Although Wat Buddharangsee is essentially a Thai monastery, Ven. Phra Khru Sukumaphirak, the abbot, has ensured that it serve the needs of the Lao, Khemer, Malasian and Sri Lankan communities as well as a significant group of Anglo-Europeans who regularly attend the nightly meditation sessions. Wat Buddharangsee has proved to be one of the most popular Buddhist meeting places, in the true spirit of multiculturalism, in the Sydney area.
