My family and I have been to this place, and that this place is only a temporary one until the new bigger building is built at the former site.
Wonderful sangha. Great place to learn meditation, mindfulness, and hear dharma talks.
I went to a Saturday meditation session a couple weeks ago. I went there an hour late, the workers there were very friendly and welcoming. The mats and the towels were provided. I regret that I couldn’t stay longer.
Really welcoming Sangha and a great place to begin to learn and continue learning Chan meditation practice. They have a lot of fantastic workshop events that take place as well such as Zentangle, Move and Mind, and Music and Mind. Many programs in both English and Chinese, all of the monastics and volunteers are extremely helpful with any questions you might have.
This place brings calm and peace to your body and mind. You can learn meditation here. Don't miss Sunday Dharma talk which gives you different perspective to your life. And not to mention the amazing vegetarian lunch offering.

Find inner peace through authentic Chan meditation in a welcoming community.
