Truc Lam Temple

What they have done for the community is amazing.
If you don’t think I mean it, you should’ve seen this place five years ago. The building was smelly, falling apart and dangerous: the front lawn was a mess of littered garbage filled with transient homeless and passed out drug addicts. It was scary, but I’ll spare you… I would not walk past it night or day– and I own a Rottweiler.
Now it’s proud, bright, immaculately clean, well-​maintained and a joy to participate in and support. Everyone is so generous and kind! I feel good giving to them because I see how beautifully it ripples back thru the neighborhood.
P. S. Go on Buddha’s birthday (see pictures) for educational, entertaining ahem, enlightened fun!
