Sabbapapassa akaranam,

Kusalassa upasampada,

Sacittapariyodapanam,

Etam buddhana sasanam.

Not to do bad, To do good,

To purify one's mind.

This is the teaching of the Buddhas.

  ~Dhammapada

 

Dharma Vijaya  Buddhist Vihara  [Vijaya  means   Victory; Vihara means Temple]  carries  on   the  Theravada   tradition   which   is mainly  in  Sri Lanka,  Thailand,   Burma,   Laos  and  Cambodia. 

The Theravada tradition is the oldest and most authentic version of the Buddha's teachings now surviving. It preserves the original doctrines and practices taught by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago.
 
 

"The wise, conquering self,

proceed to Nirvana."
