The Sisters that taught us were the Sisters of Reparation and they and the parishioners there were some of the most Godly people I have ever met. I have such fond wistfull memories of my time there at the church and school. O really love the fact that they are still intact there doing the lords work. That church and school is a holy place of God that is worth visiting . I can't wait to see those wonderful Sisters and Pastors that showed me Christ's love again in heaven someday . Peace Be With You.

As a Vietnamese Buddhist growing up in the I.E. I'm pretty sure I'm a minority O_O There aren't…read morethat many Vietnamese temples at all, compared to Little Saigon and stuff, but this temple is the closest one to my house. I used to be a part of the Youth Group they had here and it was great. It wasn't religion-centric or anything, moreso a group of friends talking about the stresses of every day life and giving each other constructive advice. Of course there was the religious aspect of meditation and brief prayers and dharma talk. I actually LOVEd going to temple every saturday, in addition to the Sunday prayers. On Sunday, it's basically the weekly prayer sessions where cute old Vietnamese ladies come and pray, in addition to gossiping. This is like their hang out spot, cause I mean .. .. where else do you find Vietnamese people around here. Despite how gossipy the ladies are, the one thing I respect and admire from them is their kind hearts. It's quite common to come along to pray at funerals for members of the temples and their families. But I noticed they even go pray for people they have no attachments to. I mean obviously the Master and the other Monks have religious responsibilities and so on, but these ladies don't have to spend their free time praying for others. They're just really nice... And the one thing I love about the smaller temples, is the family-like attitude. Even when they come and pray for you, you can offer them a donation. It's not like a set price. Cause I know some temples in Little Saigon have set rates and it gets really sketchy.. .. I think religious establishments should be less materialistic. Oh and I LOVE the Vegetarian food they have here. Sometimes on Sundays the ladies here donate food to feed everyone. And in the past there were events were they did a vegetarian buffet where they sold tickets for $5 or $10 as a fundraiser for building the temple. Overall, I can see myself growing old and grey with this place. I've met many great people here and I wouldn't know what kind of person I would be if I was never a member of this temple's youth group :)

I am deeply saddened and disappointed by my experience at this church today. I have been coming to…read morethis parish for approximately 10 years, and it has been an important part of my faith and spiritual life. Unfortunately, the way confession is currently being handled has become extremely discouraging. Confession began at 9:00 a.m., and we arrived at approximately 9:08 a.m.--only eight minutes after confession had started. Despite arriving that early, we were told that the church had already "reached its limit" and that we would not be able to confess. I was also told that there were four priests available, which made being turned away only eight minutes after confession began even more difficult to understand. As a mother of a one-year-old daughter who is also currently expecting another child, simply making the time and effort to come to confession is not always easy. I made the effort to get there because my faith is important to me and because I genuinely wanted to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. To arrive just eight minutes after confession began and already be told there was no room for me was incredibly disheartening. I have faithfully attended this church for many years and have donated and supported this parish countless times because I believed in this community and its mission. I have never expected special treatment because of that support, but I do expect a church to do everything reasonably possible to make the sacraments accessible to the faithful who are actively seeking them. Confession should not feel like an appointment with a limited number of available slots. If parishioners are arriving within minutes of confession beginning and are already being turned away, then clearly the current one-hour window is not sufficient for the needs of this parish. Of all places, the Church should be where someone seeking forgiveness, reconciliation, and a closer relationship with God feels welcomed--not rejected because a limit has been reached. I understand that priests have schedules and many responsibilities, but limiting confession to one hour when there is clearly a much greater need does not seem realistic or responsive to the needs of the parish. As priests, you have an incredible responsibility to shepherd people toward Christ and the sacraments. When people are voluntarily showing up and asking to confess, I would hope that every reasonable effort would be made to receive them rather than send them home. What troubles me most is that I did not arrive near the end of confession. I arrived eight minutes after it began. If the capacity for confession is already filled within eight minutes, then something about the current system needs to be reconsidered. Parishioners should not have to wonder whether they need to arrive significantly before the scheduled start time just to have an opportunity to receive a sacrament. After nearly 10 years of considering this my church, today's experience left me feeling genuinely hurt and questioning whether this parish is doing enough to make the Sacrament of Reconciliation accessible to its community. I sincerely hope the parish reconsiders how confession is scheduled and handled. If the demand is consistently greater than what can be accommodated, then additional confession times, longer hours, or another system should be considered. The fact that parishioners can arrive only minutes after confession begins and already be turned away should be a clear indication that the current arrangement is not meeting the needs of the community. I am sharing this because I care deeply about my faith and about this church. That is precisely why today's experience was so upsetting and disappointing.

As you drive up to this Temple you are blessed by the beautiful gardens and fragrances from lovely…read morecitrus trees and flowers. You can smell it and it's luscious. You just want to BREATHE it all in. It reminds me of Findhorn in that way. Findhorn, a place in Scotland that honors all. Wat Ratanapanya Buddhist Temple in Wildomar, California, on Orange St. is blessed with thankfulness. Like Findhorn, I assume, as I've only read about it, but this Buddhist Temple seems to embrace the concept that as you care for what you have, It will not just thrive, but thrive in a bountiful way. Perhaps that's not the Buddhist's understanding or devotion. The Buddhist's way might come more from a devotion to Buddhist ideals of gratitude and that of impermanence. The gardens, in Wildomar, resemble that kind thankfulness with love and respect, though fleeting, like a mandala. There are beautiful flowers, trees, and plants everywhere. The Monks continually tend to the grounds. This is quite a large area, settled in a residential neighborhood. The Monks are welcoming and gentle. Just as one would expect. A place of meditation is outside as you enter the grounds, just past a grassy area. A very large statue of The Buddha is within the covered meditation area . There are a few other buildings as well. Several Llama's reside there. They have a pot luck on Sundays at noon. Vegan of course. My sense is that it might be best to visit midweek and ask if you might come. I intend to, as I was invited. Bless them all. .
