I cannot get them to respond to my voice messages and the website does not provide sufficient information for me to plan to attend.

Hsi Lai Temple - Roof details

Hsi Lai Temple

(486 reviews)

Spent the day at Hsi Lai Temple to slow down, clear my mind, and enjoy a peaceful vegetarian meal…read more Hsi Lai Temple was founded in 1988 by Fo Guang Shan, one of the largest Buddhist organizations in the world. It's also one of the biggest Buddhist temples in the United States and is known for its beautiful traditional Chinese architecture and peaceful surroundings. One thing to keep in mind is that photography isn't allowed in many areas of the temple, so be sure to watch for the posted signs and respect the rules. Before heading out, we stopped by the dining hall for lunch. The vegetarian buffet is just $10 per person and you can go back for more if you'd like. The food is simple, comforting, and filling. Just remember to take only what you can finish and avoid wasting food. It's always a peaceful place to visit, whether you're here to pray, take a walk, or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon.

Hsi Lai Temple is completely free and open to the public. All individuals, regardless of religious…read morebackground, are welcome to explore the grounds, learn about Buddhism, and enjoy the serene atmosphere. The temple grounds include beautiful gardens, statues, a gift shop, a tearoom, and a vegetarian dining hall where you can enjoy affordable meal. It's AYCE, and for $10, you can't beat it! The Temple is massive, gorgeous and you feel like you're up high in the clouds. A great experience, if you've never been.

Paduma Monastery - Tokens for food

Happy New Year!…read more This event was really fun. A lot more people than I expected to be there be prepared to have a hard time to find parking. Free entry. Allows donations at front. You can offer for blessings. The food is fresh in exchange for tokens but soon they ran out of tokens so you could just pay cash if that happens. If you have leftover tokens you can exchange it back for your cash back. Vendors were nice some were selling khmer outfits (traditional clothing), foods such as wrapped banana leaf dessert, boba and more. some were selling parasols for about 12-20$ fair price. I loved the experience fun for kids. They had a dance floor and a live band. Please check this out! :)

Met a girlfriend here during Khmer New Year weekend. I went on Sunday 4/26/15. I can hear live band…read moreplaying & singing traditional Khmer music as I tried to park along the side walk. It's kinda ironic as I enter, I see a monk sitting under a tent chanting and at the same time the live band overpowering him with the instruments, while the ladies singers screeching a tune lol!!! As I continued further in, many happy party goers dancing in the center of the tent. Food vendors selling noodle soups, meat sticks, desserts, one too many jewelry vendors. Toys for kiddos, art and paintings. My favorite vendors are the fashion one, from traditional silk attire to shirts with Khmer pride logos. Hopefully next year they will add a real restroom not a port a potty
