The monks are just delightful hosts and fit you with meditation robes if you wish. They have a number of community events and English is spoken (Vietnamese seems to be the primary language there).

They ask for nothing.

They offer a unique blend of cultural and spiritual ambiance that is inspiring and transcendental. It brings the nostalgia of temples back in India. The festivals are well-planned, engaging, and very vibrant with Kirtans, lectures, Abhishekams, Homas, with vedic chants and wonderful prasadam. For me, it is a one stop location for peace and tranquility to mind, body and soul. Temple is open to everyone. I thought about the interesting pink building on Route 140, I took the leap and went inside. To my surprise it is a wonderful temple with Jaipur architecture (Pink City) with friendly and welcoming people. The atmosphere is very peaceful, great for mantra meditation and finally ended with a delicious vegetarian prasadam. I highly recommend to visit this temple and enjoy the wonderful experience.

I had no idea that there was a Buddhist Temple right next door in Wakefield. I was lucky enough to…read morebe invited by a close friend to go to the Temple for a relaxation session. Upon arriving at the Temple, I was surprised by its exterior appearance as it looked like a standard multi-family just like the other structures on the street. We walked through the front door into a large foyer with a few miscellaneous wall hangings and shelving for everyone's shoes. So I removed my boots and placed them on a shelf and followed my friend up a small flight of stairs and through a doorway. As I passed through the doorway in to a large room approximately 50 feet by 40 feet, I was transported to a Buddhist Temple. The wood floors perfectly polished, not even a smudge. From the ceiling hung an unlimited amount of beautiful Chinese Paper Lanterns. Then I glanced to the left and that's when I knew I was in an authentic Buddhist Temple. A larger than life Golden Wall Statue, 2 10 foot murals, a 5 foot bell which must be heard miles away, a wall of mini statues with lights and much much more. The room had an Aura of peace and wellbeing. Everyone gathered in a circle around the Crystal Healing Bowls and the Lightworker. I proceeded to make myself comfortable by arranging 3 mats so I could sit, lay and relax in major comfort. I was then treated to a session of relaxation accompanied by Crystal Healing Bowls and miscellaneous relaxation sounds and words from the Lightworker. This particular Lightworker also uses Tibetan Singing Bowls which I hope to experience on my next journey to a cleansed soul. This all lasted for approximately an hour and when it was done, it was as if my soul was cleansed and free of all bad and stressful things, almost a state of pure freedom and happiness. This is believe it or not a free session, but it's customary to leave a donation on your way out. Average donation would be $20-$25/per person. Quite a bargain for the experience. I am definitely going to attend more various sessions here. I give Mun Su Sa Buddhist Temple a Solid 5 Stars.

Upon entering the monk who greeted us was so friendly and warm. After donning a scarf on my head and putting on a skirt that they provided for me, father Combos( i don't know if i spelled that right) showed us around and answered all of our questions. How thoughtful- my friend Jordan said that he has never had such a positive religious experience.

This is not the perspective of a visitor to the monastery. Somehow, I'm coincidentally never around…read morewhenever my parents visit. I grew up eating their bread, having some whenever they needed to make their errands, and all the others I have had in my life pales in comparison. They make absolutely wonderful loaves of a golden lightly sweetened bread topped with sesame seeds. It has the appearance of being a dry bread, but completely different once it hits your mouth, melting in it with the delicate flavor. Toasted with butter, the additional saltiness and heat brings out the flavor even more. In texture, the bread flakes apart, rather than compressing like harder breads, and yet is fairly firm to the touch, seemingly like one when you press against the exterior of the loaf. It does not seem like a bread for a sandwich, and I can never bring myself to have it beyond simply by itself or with butter. It's one of those wonderful pleasures in life. I know not what it costs at their monastery store, however. It is sold there.

Temple Sinai is a Reform Jewish Temple in Coolidge Corner. The building was a Unitarian Church…read moreyears ago which explains why it looks like a church. The physical space is small and the layout a bit strange but somehow it makes TS feel all the more alive. Every corner of space is in use most of the time for classes, various committees and meetings, etc. Temple staff and clergy are approachable. The religious education programs for both youth and adults are truly stellar. More than just lip service is paid to the inclusion of people who traditionally have felt excluded such as gay families, inter-faith couples, single parents, Jews by choice, lower income folks... There are many more members now than when I joined ten years ago but it still occupies the same building with a footprint that can't change. (Check out the location and you will understand why.) A good challenge to be facing, IMHO. The one major negative is parking. It is Coolidge Corner, after all. If you are willing to walk a bit, or better yet take the T, this is a really lovely Synagogue to become a part of.
