New Year Photo Gallery

YEAR YEAR CELEBRATION 2007

Here are pictures taking during Lao New Year celebration.  

Wat Buddhalavarn has more than 20 years of history.  Temple was originally house in Cabramatta where there are many Laotian living in and around that area.  Several monks stayed at rented three bedrooms house.  After several years of generosity of donation from Buddhists, Wat Buddhalavarn was able to purchase a house in Cabramatta.  That was where it’d based for another six – seven years.  

In the late 1990’s Wat Buddhalavarn Inc bought more than 50 acres of land, two houses and a large shed.  One house is now used for monk residence and another originally converted to library then meditation centre and it is now being exclusively used to house quest monks.  The shed is being used as temporally Patthasima. 

Many things have been happening since the turn of a new millennium at Wat buddhalavarn; renovating hall, constructing new Patthasima, and building new front wall of temple. 

A large shed was converted to temporary hall.  This is heart and soul of Wat Buddhalavarn.  Every thing happens here.  There are new and larger windows, new kitchen, brighter colour for the whole shed, veranda, and floor.  Over years it has completely transformed into stunning building.  .  A temple without a Patthasima is not a complete temple. 

Constructing of new Patthasima at Wat Buddhalavarn, His Excellency The Honourable Gordon Samuels, AC VCO, Governor of New South Wales at the time laid the first foundation stone followed by dignities from various organisations and thousand and thousand of Buddhists.  Thing slowly starts to develop.  

Front fence of the temple has been going through major cosmetic surgery.  Hopefully in the near future this temple will looks as good as it has ever been.  New brick wall fence has been built. 

Remember those who wish to donate or contribute, please contact Wat Buddhalavarn Inc and find out how to make your donation.
