Flooring – light american oak

The temple floors will be white American oak. This is a hard and durable wood which is also supple and will add to the brightness of the interior.

In Tibetan Buddhism, there are many skilful methods for purifying the result of our negative actions which obscures our true nature, which is always perfect! One of those methods is prostration.

Buddhist practitioners offer three prostrations to the shrine when entering a temple. By bringing to mind the qualities of the Buddha, which is the same as their own true nature, and the teachings which can lead us home to that nature, then stretching out in prostration, we can purify the effects of negative actions.

By sponsoring a square meter of flooring, we can consider that we are contributing to a space where many, many practitioners of the future will remove the veils that obscure their true nature, ultimately manifesting their true nature and bringing great benefit to countless beings.
