AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! The entire place is super sketchy and riddled with sexual deviancy. The head monk, Bai D. Nguyen, seems to have sexual affairs with young men. One of the monk who visited the monastery, Sayasith Sitthipanyo, was arrested for sex crimes involving a 15 year old boy. Many of the monks don't seem to practice Buddhist practices even outside of sexual deviancy, and they seem to commit theft. There also seems to be a money laundering scheme going on there with the thousands of dollars sitting around the non-profit monastery which allegedly makes its money via donation and selling vegetables. Horrible place. Simply just avoid and tell others to avoid. read more
