Thai temples in America
2521/1978 was in operation five Thai Buddhist temples in different parts of the United States. Here introductory information about them:
1. Wat Thai of Los Angeles
Thailand's War Los Angeles has been the best-known family name Thai Buddhist Temple in Los Angeles as a center was officially called Theravada Buddhism Center, Inc.
The saga of establishing Wat Thai of Los Angeles is long and complicated. In 2513/1970, a Thai Buddhist monk was invited to Los Angeles and stayed there for a while, making himself available to a large number people. He returned to Thailand, but not before the enthusiasm to create a Thai Buddhist temple in Los Angeles had awakened in many Thai Buddhists engaged in that city. In that same year, a Thai-American Buddhist Association was organized and the monk went to Los Angeles, this time accompanied by two other Thai Buddhist monks invited by a group of devotees with more specific and stated purpose of the organization's efforts to find a Thai Buddhist temple. The three monks stayed there throughout the three-month Vassa-residence, dicuss the idea more fully with the lay community and again
Thailand.
The dream is approaching reality when, coinciding with the visit of a senior monk from Bangkok, a Thai student died and funeral services were held in a Japanese temple. This event made people more determined to establish a Thai temple itself, and several of them urged that steps be taken to achieve this purpose. In consultation with the monk, a Thai group held a meeting to adopt a resolution in the sense that two committees formed, one in Los Angeles and one in Bangkok, to work for the establishment of a Thai Buddhist temple in Los Angeles and raise funds for this purpose. Soon after, a suburban house in Sepulvada became a residence monks on July 6, 2514 / 1971, the date regarded as the unofficial beginning of the first Thai Buddhist temple in the United States. However, as the site was considered legally inappropriate for use as a seat of a temple, the Government did not grant permission to build a temple there. Thus, the residence of the monks became Sepulvada in an official church holiday.
On December 22, 2514 / 1971, the temple called was presented under the law of the State of California as a nonprofit organization under the name "The Theravada Buddhist Center, Inc., the legal and official name of the temple in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, which marks the official founding the temple.
In 2515/1972, the temple was moved to present site at Cantara Street, a plot of 2.2 hectares of land was purchased with funds donated by a rich man in Bangkok, the president's father, Foundation Committee Temple in Los Angeles. A first group of four monks took up residence on May 16, 1972. Since then efforts and energy have been concentrated mostly in the building and construction work and the collection of funds for such purposes. The main reason is that the Commission's plan to erect a monastery and void in the traditional Thai monks equipped with living room, patio and separate temple sacred buildings, especially the main hall dedicated in Thai style. The new location, with two or three antiquated buildings attached, was large enough to accommodate a sufficient number of religious buildings and structures as needed. Most old buildings have been torn down and built some buildings new ones have been. However, the main hall, a two-story building, Thai style, the first stone of what was set in 2515/1972, continued in construction and continued for years to occupy the center of attention and energy of the Temple of the group due to unfinished construction work. A proposal was submitted to Committee Center to have the organization name legally changed to the popular Wat Thai of Los Angeles "and make other necessary changes with respect to legal norms to turn the organization into a full ecclesiastical establishment according to traditional rules
Thai Buddhist Order.
