The Temple of the Victory of Truth
Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara was founded on April 20, 1980. The main support for the Vihara came from a group of Sri Lankan Buddhists. Since its inception, the Vihara has been maintained by Sri Lankan, other Asian and Western Buddhists, plus non-Buddhist friends of diverse national and cultural backgrounds. Local American and Asian communities continue to support the Vihara. Venerable monks from Sri Lanka conduct the day-to-day activities and render guidance for those seeking the services of the Vihara.
Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara promotes the Theravada tradition of Buddhism found primarily in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. The Theravada tradition is the oldest and most authentic version of the Buddha’s teachings now surviving. It preserves intact the original doctrines and practices taught by the Buddha 2600 years ago.

Een geconcentreerd bewustzijn is in het hier en nu, rustig, kalm en vredig. Met een dergelijk bewustzijn zie je de dingen zoals ze zijn en verwerf je inzichten die je niet uit boeken kunt halen. Door deze inzichten kom je tot een tevredener en gelukkiger bestaan. Je moet het alleen zelf doen, want niemand anders dan jij kan jouw bewustzijn bevrijden.
Om de concentratie te ontwikkelen die nodig is voor een vrij bewustzijn beoefenen wij Buddho meditatie. Dit is een traditioneel (Theravada) boeddhistisch meditatiesysteem dat in Nederland wordt onderwezen door Herman Schreuder, die het op zijn beurt leerde van Aba, een Birmese meditatieleraar die nu abt is van een groot klooster in Noord-Thailand.
