It’s the New Year in Southeast Asia coming up! Here are various celebrations at Theravada Buddhist temples around town. If you’re new, the largest ones to check out would be April 10 at Wat Buddha Bucha – Thai temple in Decatur, or April 16 & 17 at the Cambodian temples Wat Khmer in Lithonia and Wat Trairatanaram in College Park. In the morning, monks will be chanting inside in Pali, an ancient Indian language, while vendors will be outside. Cultural performances will be mostly after lunch. Not much is in English usually. Please bring cash to support the family-run food and gift vendors, consider making a donation to the temple, and please do not bring alcohol or drugs or smoke.
