On Saturday, May 28, 2016, Wat Phra Dhammakaya New Jersey organized DIMC’s Open House event to give residents of Fanwood and neigboring areas an opportunity to gain some perception and involvement regarding to the temple’s activities. During this special occasion, the Mayor of Fanwood kindly delivered an opening speech and attended the event. Not only that, he also played a role in advertising the event to public. The locals who attended the event got to watch the temple’s medias, practice a short meditation, take a look at different spots of the temple and have lunch together. Impressed by the event, the attendants said they would look for more opportunities to participate in the temple’s activities, e.g. adult meditation class on Tuesdays and Saturdays, child and adolescent meditation class on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month and weekend meditation course, etc. For more information, please contact DIMC New Jersey at (908)322- 4187 .
