Kunzang Palyul Choling Is a Washington D.C. Area's Buddhist Icon

The Washington D.C. area has so many interesting places to visit and, as I love traveling, I keep exploring the area. Not too long ago, on a sunny afternoon, I drove to a nearby Buddhist temple. This temple, called the Kunzang Palyul Choling, is located in Poolesville, Maryland. It is open to all people, no matter what their spiritual background. It is well worth visiting. Read on to find out why!

There are two interesting aspects about this institution. First, the Temple has a prayer room that is open for meditation at any time, night or day. You can come in when you need a moment of quiet and comfortably position yourself on a cushion. Furthermore, the room is also used for a 24 hour prayer vigil for world peace. This effort started in 1985 and continues unbroken to this day.

Second, there are lovely hiking trails in the adjacent park. It houses many a Buddhist stupa (a sacred symbol of meditation). You can take a seat on a bench and listen to the chirping of birds and rustling of leaves. 

​I recommend you visit Kunzang Palyul Choling. You will learn about the tradition the temple promotes and spend a fun afternoon in a lovely and well-maintained park. Let me know if you go!
