Wat Lao
Wat Lao refers to Laotian Buddhist temples, serving as cultural and religious centers for the Lao community, often providing meditation, Dhamma teachings, and hosting traditional festivals like Lao New Year (Boun Pee Mai).
These temples serve as centers for worship, offering a place for the Lao community to practice Buddhism and maintain cultural traditions.
They often host events, including Boun Pee Mai (Lao New Year), Boun Vesak Pūjā Day, and other religious ceremonies.
Wat Lao Buddhovath emphasizes making the Dhamma accessible to all, not just the Laotian community.
