Minnesota Kemboudi Temple to celebrate a million dollars “Wonderful Gate” was years of making
Dymanh Christ, Comprehensive magazine
the The largest Cambodi Temple in Minnesota It is about to reveal what the temple officials describe as the largest entry gate in the world’s Cambodian temple.
Leaders Wat Monnesatarram Six years passed money and more than a million dollars to build a wonderful gate at the entrance to the temple of 40 acres in Hampton, half an hour south of the twin cities.
Building most watts – which includes Outdoor shrine, meditation area and sacred collection area – concluded in 2007.
But the temple officials still want to build the great gate to welcome visitors. In the Buddhist traditions, the gate is the cutting between the secular and sacred world.
Fishith Choos, Vice President of the Buddhist Association in Minnesota Kemboudi, said the gate includes symbols of the philosophy of the temple. It also represents a place for peace and education. He said that many temples include schools in Cambodia.
“In the temple, you have no only one gate where we come and go together,” said Samanan Kong, the head of youth, art and culture in Watt. “When we go through the gate, this means welcoming and entering a place to learn.”
Kong Washim said the design depends on the temples in Cambodia, including Angkor Wat and Prehah Vihear. Watt sponsored the artists from the temple from Cambodia to create the complex design of the gate of flowers, tunes, black and other symbols.
More than 100 monks from all over the world will participate in a ceremony celebrating the thirty -seventh year of Watt and the disclosure of the gate. Choos said it is a rare opportunity to participate in such a party in the United States
“Some people may not have an opportunity to celebrate something like this in their lives,” he said.
