Quan The Am Thien Tu

This temple has a very nice layout and the event was very nice!
I will be back next time!

The thing about this Monastery is that it’s in San Jose’s backyard. And the best thing about this place is that it feels secluded from the outside world. It’s small, it’s quiet, and it’s definitely tranquil.
I don’t know if most of you guys are looking for a monastery that is somewhat small, but this place is very family-​oriented. The main monk cracks jokes almost all the time, he’s serious with his craft, and he’s always welcoming to everyone.
Both my grandma’s, my grandpa, and my uncle have met this awesome monk, he’s blessed our family during our trials after their deaths, and he’s guided us spiritually. You really can’t ask for more than that. All the food here is for vegetarians — but c’mon, that’s a given — and the other monks are very friendly as well.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is just looking for a nice getaway from everything without having to drive all the way to someplace like Kim Son Monastery.

I still sometimes go to Quan The Am with my family. The head monk is very intelligent and kind, and the community is dedicated. It’s a little hidden away, a gem. This place is peaceful and hosts great events on spiritual holidays.

The followers of this temple are dedicated and kind people. Everyday many volunteer until 2 or 3 in the morning to prepare for the next day. The food is delicious, and on Sundays, it is free. I’d say the best thing about Chua Quan The Am is the followers and the friends you make. The monks also give great advice.
