Buddhist Raksmey Monastery of Rosharon, Texas is a place of worship for Buddhists, also known as a Buddhist Monastery. We aim to inspire peace and enlightenment in our community. Our monastery represents the pure land of Buddha, providing a space for spiritual reflection and growth. We welcome all individuals who seek to deepen their understanding of Buddhism and cultivate inner peace.

​

MISSION STATEMENT:

​

The purpose of the Buddha Raksmey Monastery is to embody and communicate the teachings of the Buddha in the tradition of the Buddhist Philosophy and to share an Everyday Buddhism envisioned by our Reverend Sok Reas and Reverend Silen Yuth, that helps all people find freedom of mind and heart, deepen their wisdom, and manifest compassion.  Our aspiration is that together, we will attain enlightenment; the Buddhist non-dual awakening to the oneness of all things for the benefit of all.  We call this the Way of Oneness.  

​

We will accomplish this in the following ways.

• By providing a safe refuge and community where there is learning, openness, vulnerability, humility, acceptance, and the realization of interdependence. A safe place where one can cultivate, deep listening, compassion, love, wisdom, and understanding for oneself and others.

• By offering a welcoming, regular spiritual practice for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

• By offering instruction on Buddhist teaching and for the sharing of the teachings and practice of an Everyday Buddhism inspired by Pureland and Bright Dawn Buddhist views of radical acceptance, naturalness, selflessness, interdependence, improvisation, and oneness.

• By offering a sanctuary of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha and giving participants regular opportunities to recite the refuge prayer.

• By promoting a life of Nembutsu ( through gratitude, acceptance, transcendence, and wonder) found in the personification of Amitabha Buddha and by so doing, accomplish the realization of the oneness of all things in our everyday lives.

• By promoting lay practice and giving opportunities for compassionate service, and environmental stewardship within the community, and the broader community of our localities. In addition to education and annual retreat participation.
