Chua Lien Hoa Temple

One of my few favorite places to unwind. I happened to discover Liên hoa through yoga sessions there with Mr. Dean who is a truly dedicated yoga instructor! And Master Chân Thành is an extraordinary monk!

I’ve been going to Chua Lien Hoa since I was a little girl. Going to Chua Lien Hoa makes me feel calm and serene. Everyone at this Chua is very kind and welcoming. I especially love coming here on Tet when all the festivities are going on.

Cute little temple, they are really cool people, really nice and a true Buddhist monk.

Cannot tell how much I love this place. I’ve been here since 5 years already.
They never close the door. You can come in anytime you want. I sometimes even come there around 2 – 3 AM and just peacefully stayed, prayed and left. It’s not scary at all during the night. I sometimes even do zen with the monk. I love going there when it’s not so crowded. I love staying there till late night with Master Thich Chon Thanh, the monks and some elder people, just listening to their stories, talking, which never ends and always made me feel peaceful. I love enjoy tea with them.
I love cleaning around the temple, being closed to the spiritual in the peaceful atmosphere make all of my stressful moment go away.
May peace stay with everyone!

I love this place, maybe it’s because where my Grandma, Grandpa, Great-​Grandma, and Great-​Grandpa rest. I love coming here to visit them.
This temple is one of the smaller temples, that’s why I love it so much. It feels so serene, quite, and soothing. I can always casually walk into this place after work and it will be ok (granted they are still open for visitors).
It lacks all the bells and whistles the other temples have, this place doesn’t make you feel like you’re walking into a business. The parking does suck; especially during Buddhist holidays.
