We are a small Japanese Shingon Buddhist Temple in Ascot called Daikokuji Ascot Betsuin, established early in 2013. My name is Seiten Wild, and I am a Shingon priest ordained by our late Master ,Eimei Sensei, who was the founder of our Temple in Japan. Our tradition is Shingon Mikkyo, which is knowledge through experience and practice, as opposed to study and doctrine.
Although we are as yet small, our hope is to build and expand our membership to create a Buddhist presence in the area. We do not recruit or evangelise, but believe that those who are drawn to Buddhism will find their way.
Buddhism is a path of peace, compassion and awareness, the practice of which enables people to overcome life’s difficulties and achieve true happiness. It is a way of life, a philosophy. It is not a religion.
Here at Daikokuji Ascot Betsuin we offer weekly services and meditation, as well as Kaji healing and Buddhist teaching. This can be arranged on a one-to-one basis if requested. We also have a programme of Deshi/Monk training for those who wish to take their practice further, and the eventual possibility of full ordination. However, we warmly welcome anyone who simply wants to join in our services and teaching without taking it any further. Call for a chat ......
