List of Dhammakaya branches

The ubosot of Wat Paknam Japan, a branch temple in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, Japan

The Dhammakaya tradition, a Thai Buddhist tradition associated with Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro and Dhammakaya meditation, has developed a network of international branch temples, meditation centres and Buddhist associations. Overseas branches are chiefly associated with several Thai temples in the tradition, including Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, the Bangkok temple where Luang Pu Sodh served as abbot; Wat Phra Dhammakaya, a large temple in Pathum Thani province founded in 1970 by Chandra Khonnokyoong and Luang Por Dhammajayo; and Wat Luang Phor Sodh Dhammakayaram, a temple in Ratchaburi province associated with the same meditation lineage.[1][2][3]

The branches listed here include temples, registered Buddhist associations, meditation centres and coordination centres that are identified in branch lists, Thai Buddhist missionary directories, official temple or centre websites, or published news coverage. Names vary by source: some centres use the Thai word wat ('temple'), while others use English-language names such as "Meditation Center" or "Meditation Centre".[3][4]

Background and scope

Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen is a royal wat in Phasi Charoen district, Bangkok. The temple was transformed after Luang Pu Sodh became abbot in 1916, growing from an almost abandoned temple with thirteen monks into a major centre of Buddhist education and meditation practice with hundreds of monks and mae chi.[1] It is widely identified as the origin of the Dhammakaya tradition.

Wat Phra Dhammakaya is a Buddhist temple in Khlong Luang district, Pathum Thani province, north of Bangkok. Thai and international sources describe it as the best-known and fastest-growing temple of the Dhammakaya tradition; its foundation and affiliated branch lists describe overseas centres in multiple regions.[2][5][3]

Wat Luang Phor Sodh Dhammakayaram is a Thai Buddhist temple in Ratchaburi province associated with the Dhammakaya meditation tradition. Overseas centres connected with the temple are listed separately where published sources identify them as branches or affiliated centres.

For the purposes of this list, an international branch is an overseas temple, meditation centre, registered Buddhist association or coordination centre that is explicitly associated in published sources with Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, Wat Phra Dhammakaya or Wat Luang Phor Sodh Dhammakayaram. The list excludes domestic Thai temples and informal meditation groups unless they are identified as official overseas branches or centres in published sources. Names are given in the English form used by the source where available; alternative names, older names and local-language forms are noted only where they help identify the centre. The list is organised first by associated Thai parent temple and then by region and country.

The reference column normally gives the source that verifies the branch entry. The notes column is reserved for points that affect identification, such as alternative names, former names, notable premises, establishment dates or independent coverage; ordinary branch-list entries are left without additional notes.
