Theravada Buddhism is practiced at the Wat (Temple) in Austin
Theravada (pronounced — more or less — "terra-VAH-dah"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the Tipitaka, or Pali canon, which scholars generally agree contains the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings.
The Buddha — the "Awakened One" — called the religion he founded Dhamma-vinaya — "the doctrine and discipline." To provide a social structure supportive of the practice of Dhamma-vinaya (or Dhamma for short [Sanskrit: Dharma]), and to preserve these teachings for posterity, the Buddha established the order of bhikkhus (monks) and bhikkhunis (nuns) which we are part — to pass his teachings on to subsequent generations.
The (Temple) Wat Thai Austin is located on 5 acres with park like setting just east of Austin, Texas. There are several areas to the Wat.
The main worship room for sermons and meditation. The living quarters where the monks sleep and eat. The community event building that is 5000 sq ft and it can accommodate several hundred people for holiday events. It has a large dance floor and stage for entertainment.
