Amidaji temple is open to visitors

last update March 17, 2023

Amidado (Hall of Amida) where we held 
religious services and Dharma talks

 Amidaji temple is opened to visitors if they do not   mind the simple conditions.

 Accommodation can be offered for a period of one   to  seven days per visitor. One can sleep in the new library, or bring one's own   tent,  and attend services and Dharma talks in the Amidado (Amida Hall). A solar shower and a new winter bathroom, are available, too. I also try my best to provide vegetarian meals from the vegetables raised in the garden of Amidaji.  In time, I will be able to offer better 

conditions and more accommodation facilities, but if people are determined to listen to the Dharma and there is the possibility for them to travel, why not pay a visit to me now? 

We can spend some meaningful time together, discuss any doubt or misunderstanding you might have, say Nembutsu, learn the simple Amidaji liturgy, and even help me with some physical work in the courtyard. Lay people or teachers of other Buddhist traditions who are passing through Romania and don't have a place to stay can also receive accommodation for a few days at Amidaji. This temple has a friendly attitude towards all authentic lineages of transmission.

This is the new library of Amidaji which
also serves as accommodation place for visitors

For those who do not like the conditions at the temple I can easily find   a  room at a nearby hotel in Craiova (20 minutes by car from Amidaji)   from which you can come and visit the temple every day by bus. Thus,   you can enjoy both the city and the temple.

Those interested are required to contact me in advance at my   email,  josho_adrian@yahoo.com so that we can find the most  convenient time for your visit and arrange all necessary details.

It is very important to know that there are NO taxes or fees for members and   visitors who stay at the temple and attend Dharma talks and activities. 

 

However, all members and visitors, no matter they are lay or priests,  must   observe the Rules of the Temple , and respect the orthodox teaching style of  Amidaji.  All Dharma discussions are strictly moderated in order to guide   people towards a genuine understanding of Amida Dharma as it was taught by   Shakyamuni Buddha and the Masters of our lineage. Members and visitors   must put themselves in a learning mood as the teachings offered at Amidaji are not an invitation to debates, but to listening deeply.
