About Wat Lao Buddhamoongcoon

Wat Lao Buddhamoongcoon was found in 1988 by Lao Community in GA, keeping with Lao Theravada Buddhist tradition. It has always relied on donations and volunteer work for its support. The main objectives behind the founding of the temple community are for propagating the Buddha’s teachings and practice, to teach and promote Lao art, language, and culture to all those who are interested, and to serve as a pillar of the Lao community in Georgia area. Every morning the monks gather in the main hall to chant and meditate. Following the morning meal they begin their work in and around the temple. The colorful landscape features a rich assortment of flowers and trees all maintained by the monks. The sound of sweeping is a common refrain as the monks meditate on sweeping the grounds. T
