Beaver Scouts visit Buddhist Temple

On 29 September 2009 approximately thirty Beaver Scouts from Knaphill enjoyed a visit to the Dhammakaya Temple in Knaphill to learn more about Buddhism towards their Faith Badge. Phra Nicholas Thanissaro explained about life as a Buddhist monk and answered extensive questions from the youngsters. They learnt about ceremonies and festivals and the five precepts which all Buddhists follow. They all tried meditation which was a new experience for many and Beavers enjoyed discussing similarities and differences between the temple and other churches they have visited.
