I visited this Buddhist center back in March 2025 for an open house. I occasionally practice…read moreBuddhism for my spirituality. Upon coming here, the building was extremely dark at night. The open house started at 7:30 PM. I would have liked and thought there was going to be well lit as well as them welcoming newcomers, however, not. The building was sketchy too. The parking was plenty, but I immediately felt uneasy and as I was about to leave until another visitor/an elderly lady spotted me in the parking lot and asked me where the open house was going to be. I pretended I knew to help her. Eventually, we were both lost when I couldn't get the door opened as it was locked at 7:20 PM. A guy walked up out of nowhere and said he had a key, then he unlocked the door. Another guy with long hair came from upstairs and said that the open house was "up here". The elderly lady got into the elevator while I climbed the stairway up. I was thinking that the open house would be in a large room. Absolutely not, about 10 people met inside a small room. Come to find out, the tiny room is where the Buddhist center is not the whole office building. There wasn't any shoes allowed in the room for comfort. Okay, I'm inside the room and sat in a chair as I didn't feel comfortable with sitting on the floor. The rest of the visitors sat on the floor. The guy with long hair came then immediately started explaining Tibetan Buddhism and how ties to Karma Kagyu, but founded by Lamar Ole Nydahl. He was speaking fast and I tried to keep up. He then started chanting. He had given us beads to hold. Again, we all chanted with him. He was reading a mantra very fast in a language I didn't recognize. It wasn't English as they said it would be. I don't know why he was going so quick. After he did that, the open house was over with. We had to give the beads back. The long haired man answered questions. Then we left. The open house was free. I honestly didn't care about my experience as it wasn't pleasant. I didn't return as the energy was off. I'll just stick to mediating at home.

My primary reason for visiting the temple was to experience one of their worship sessions. It was a lot of peaceful chanting and at the end the monk told us about the Lotus Sutra, which was actually a beautiful sutra. The service was mostly in Vietnamese, but he spoke English from time to time. I enjoyed the temple and the wonderful sermon. They offer free lunch after the service. I couldn't stay for lunch this time, but may do it in the future. I will definitely attend a meditation class whenever they offer it!

I was that comfortable and appreciated the me time and peaceful sounds. At one point you do hear the crashing sounds of a gong or horn (sorry first time and don't know the terminology) that were a little too loud that is what startled me and I was not able to go back into the concentration. Only downfall was they forgot to give me my blanket to cover up with so I was freezing the entire time. It's not a place you can raise your hand or yell out. I appreciate they do provide lockers, that you can personalize during your visit, with included phone chargers, clean bathrooms and a selection of warm teas.
