Theravada in Olympia
Our mission is to understand and follow the Buddha’s original teachings, without cultural influences or that of other schools of Buddhism.
Meditation and talk by Bhante Pattago
Topic: Where Am I?
Tuesday September 1 2026
6:00-8:00 PM
Buddhangkura Thai Temple
932 Mett St. NE, Olympia, WA
Meditations and talk by Bhante Pattago, plus short break. Bhante studies the Buddha’s teachings daily and extensively, and conveys their deep meanings in easy to understand instruction. The dhamma talk is on the five khandas and non-self. The khandas are also called aggregates, as the five together comprise our human experience. This is a foundational teaching, providing penetration into the Buddha’s teaching on the impermanence of the self.
At the end, Bhante will answer dhamma questions.
Bhante lived at Buddhangkura Thai temple when he began his journey in 2017 as an ordained monk. He is now an ajahn. See About Us.
Interesting film about building a pagoda, with Ven. Goenke and American Buddhists, set in Massachusetts, India, Thailand, and Burma. The film ties design, construction, and use with meditation and other tenets of Buddhism: https://youtu.be/2SjqQHRXreQ?si=J9oT9B7k6vstg648
