Chua Dieu Phap

It’s calming and it’s a great place to feel at peace with yourself or if you just need quiet time away from everyone and to center yourself.
There’s an overwhelming feeling of peace when I visit here– probably because my uncles, aunt and now grandpa are here. It’s nice also because the have inscences as well to light and use to pray. You can walk around the whole temple and pray and place the inscences all over.
All in all, I will definitely be back– not only to visit my family members but also to re center myself. Parking isn’t an issue either because they have a parking lot available

My aunts and I happened to be in the area so I took them here to visit this temple. There was a private lot so parking was easy, especially since we did not go on a Sunday. There were many nice statues outside of the temple and the Buddhist nun was very friendly and welcoming for us to go into the main hall.
I’m actually used to kneeling on the ground, but they actually have rows of kneeling pads here for knee support. I guess that’s good for the elderly!
My aunt were very excited. We paid our respects to Buddha and continued on with our New Years day!
On the bulletin, the temple had a sign up up list for volunteers who wanted to help with an operation to put together Clothes for the Homeless. Compassion is a part of the Buddhist teaching so it is important that we help others who are not as fortunate as us. This particular event takes place on Saturday, January 2, 2016 at 9am and they are giving care packages to the homeless in Skidrow. These care packages include blankets, socks, sweaters and toilet paper. They are also fundraiser for money to buy food for the homeless as well.
This isn’t my main temple and I’m not sure how their Sunday prayers and other festivities are but I’m giving this place a 5 star for their philanthropy work. I would love to attend one of their volunteering events on day.

My wife and I have been frequenting this temple weekly on Sundays to pray and for the Vegetarian food. Parking is small and crowded, better to park on the side streets. Temple is rather small, but the statues are pretty and it’s a good place to pray and meditate. I believe there is a weekend Vietnamese school as well.

My grandmother passed away last year so we go here to pray because it was recommended by my uncle. They put up her picture and everything. I feel that they are super unorganized and don’t take the time to plan.
We requested to have a service done and needed a table for lunch afterwards and they said they’d be able to fulfill that, but when the time came, they said they don’t do those kinds of services on Saturdays and then all of a sudden they were able to when we arranged other plans.
I feel bad, but I don’t take this place seriously. The nuns there are snobby. How can this be? I feel like they don’t listen to requests, they are pushy and are stubborn. Last thing I would expect at a temple.

Pretty good temp, lots of incense sticks and plenty of covered candles so you can light ‘em. There’s a vending machine if you get thoisty, and also a nice vegetarian food stall in the back selling all types of Buddhist goods to eat. They have a variety of monks who speak Vietnamese, Chinese, and English. On the weekends they have a little Viet school too if you want your kids to learn it.

Lovely temple, great food. It’s really small and it’s a viet buddhist temple. After we bai sun, then we go outside to get our grub on. I’d recommend the egg rolls (2/​$ 1) and zhong (also 2/​$ 1). The tzai mong bo hue is yum too.
