Hmm...this temple around Batam Center area look kind of interesting...
Notes I found :
Quote:
Vihara is the Sanskrit and Pali term for a Buddhist monastery. It originally meant "a secluded place in which to walk", and referred to "dwellings" or "refuges" used by wandering monks during the rainy season.
Vihara Dharma Mulia is located at Batam Centre, a base of Mahayana & Theravada Buddhists where emphasizes most on the Noble Eightfold Path taught by the Buddha.
The Noble Eightfold Path is known as the way leading to the cessation of suffering (dukkha) and the achievement of self-awakening. It is used to develop insight into the true nature of phenomena (or reality) and to eradicate greed, hatred, and delusion. The Noble Eightfold Path is the fourth of the Buddha's Four Noble Truths; the first element of the Noble Eightfold Path is, in turn, an understanding of the Four Noble Truths. It is also known as the Middle Path or Middle Way.
Here, you can see Buddhist monks practice and teach you how to do meditation.
