Wat_Phrayortkeo

Wat Phrayortkeo is a temple situated in the Fairfield area (Endensor Park) in Sydney in NSW. It is a Buddhist temple set up by the Lao community who have escaped the Communist take-over since 1975. This temple was built for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. It is a place where many Laotians come together to worship, to perform rituals and ceremonies and to celebrate different festivals. Most of all, it is a place to seek refuge in the Triple Gem – Taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma (the Teachings of the Buddha) and the Sangha (the community of monks). Many seek a path out of suffering and they urge for an inner peace and solitude.

 

A bit of a recon trip looking for landmarks of significance in the local area. I found this great structure at Endensor Park.
