Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple - Pennsylvania

Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple - Pennsylvania Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple is in existence exclusively to help the global community learn about Buddhism and help people to alleviate suffering.

Bhante Soma is the Abbot of this Temple. He comes to us from Sri Lanka where he became a monk at the tender age of 11 years old. He is the youngest child in a large loving family. Thanks to modern technology, he can maintain a close relationship with his siblings, mother, and many nieces and nephews. In the short time that Bhante Soma has been in Central Pennsylvania, he has worked hard to build a

spiritual community. Bhante Soma brings wisdom and humor to his Dharma talks. His message of Loving Kindness resonates with people on a deep level, and has helped them to find something in their lives that they didn’t know was missing. Bhante Soma is traveling all around Central Pennsylvania teaching over 20 meditation classes a month. He performs many house blessings and baby blessings, and is available to officiate at weddings and funeral services. He makes himself available to anyone who needs spiritual guidance, at any time of day. Bhante Soma’s loving spirit and quick sense of humor has earned him the nick-name of “Funny Monk”. Known for his beautiful chanting voice, his practitioners are immersed in beautiful sound during his weekly Loving-Kindness Meditations. May you be well, happy, and peaceful!
