Vajiradhammapadip Temple (Wat Vajiradhammapadip) — Attraction in Town of Brookhaven

I've had spiritual schooling and always was aware of my journey in life and where my path was taking me. I always have tried to follow where my spirit lead me. I googled Buddhist Temple near me and was amazed there was one about 2 Or 3 miles from me. I drove there one morning ,parked but then drove away. I parked by a mall and was thinking and decided this was where my spirit wanted me to be. When I walked in and was greeted by ,I would call a sister. She invited me in,offered me tea and time for me to share my deepest feelings about life. She was patient and very understanding and offered me to meditate in the Temple for awhile and to feel free to come back at any time., I went into the Temple and by chance a Monk was meditating and chanting. I meditated and it was so freeing and enriching. The peace and sacredness was felt was beyond words. The people there were all loving and respectful. To be sure I will be going back. This is where my spiritual journey has led me. I listened and followed. I would advise anyone who wants to experience serenity and inner peace to go there. You will be very pleased as well as freeing yourself,if only for 20 Or 30 min. from the craziness of this world. You will be purged and renewed and leaving there with a smile...

They have a yearly Thai festival. I have been going since 2017. They have everything from incredible Thai drinks to spicy soup. I recommend getting Basil Chicken, Chicken Satay, Drunken Noodles, and shrimp rolls with sweet chili sauce!

The temple is beautiful and clean, and the monks, while they do not talk that much as friendly and incredibly kind to all ages. During the festival, you are allowed to walk in without shoes, which is good for being clean and getting blessed by a monk. The Thai Festival is a stamp in the community, and this temple is also a wonderful place to visit. Highly recommend you give this temple the chance because that is all it needs to take you into...
