The most beautiful, welcoming temple. I highly suggest joining for a service anytime if you are interested in learning more about Buddhism or meditation. The group is kind and helpful, and Thay Thanh is an amazing teacher 🙏🙏

Great to have a Buddhist temple here. Happy Lunar New Year everyone! The monk here is hilarious and very wise. Had a wonderful conversation with him here over the lunar new year 2025.

Chua Dong Hung is a peaceful, welcoming place hidden in the Newtown area of Virginia Beach. Do not feel intimidated attending any of the programs; you will be immediately welcomed by a group who is eager to make you feel comfortable and at ease! The monks of Dong Hung offer services in English, as well as Vietnamese and for my Mahayana/Pure Land Vietnamese and Theravadan Sri Lankan sisters and brothers, respectively. The sangha also offers free, English-language guided meditation on Wednesdays and a Dhamma/Dharma Class on Tuesdays. You do not have to be a practicing Buddhist to attend any of these programs; we regularly welcome those who are curious or those who just need a respite from modern life. The monks are extremely kind, knowledgeable, and patient, and are excited to share the Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings with both those practicing Buddhism as well as those who are simply curious. Any experience here is well-worth your time.
