Started by a few Tibetan lamas in the early 70s, the Kopan Monastery today is a world-renowned instituttion for the study of Buddhist philosophy and meditation. It offers residential courses, and students come from all over the world.
I took about an hour to tour the complex. I met some visitors from Singapore, In fact, a monk told me Singapore is one of their most committed financial supporters.
To my surprise, Kopan Monastery is well-landscaped and well-maintained.
Beautiful monastery. I am not a religious man but I LOVE Buddhist culture and art...a lot!

Me too. I like Buddhist philosophy. Have you read any of Dalai Lama's books?

A friend of mine says he might go to Kopan Monastery for a meditation course.
