Some may also wish to explore the Dhammawiki Temples category with its list of
Buddhist temples and Dhamma meditation centers around the world. Most entries are Theravada temples and centers and also some of the landmark temples and centers from other traditions. Many of the Thich Nhat Hanh groups are included here too because that tradition blends Zen with Theravada mindfulness. Some Buddhayana or non sectarian groups and temples are also included since they include Theravada as part of a mixed practice.
