THE VISION
This spring, we will build a traditional Wetu (Wampanoag home) within the garden — a symbol of respect, unity, and cultural preservation.
This structure will serve as a place of learning, reflection, and connection for all who visit.
THE GARDEN
The garden has been lovingly cultivated by Boonyod, also known as Monk Benny, whose dedication, kindness, and deep respect for the Wampanoag people have shaped this space into a living tribute.
Although he has recently stepped away from monastic life, we continue to care for the garden and remain committed to honoring its purpose and meaning.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Your contribution helps honor the Wampanoag ancestors, support cultural education, and preserve the story of the people who first called this land home.
Every donation brings us one step closer to creating a sacred space of remembrance and harmony.
Honoring the Wampanoag Tribe
At the NMR Meditation Garden in Raynham, we honor the history and spirit of the land — once home to the Wampanoag people, the original stewards of this region.
This sacred space continues to be maintained with care and intention, serving as a place of peace, reflection, and cultural respect.
Built on Buddhist temple grounds, this wetu and garden honor the Wampanoag Tribe and support cultural preservation.
