Everyone is very generous and kind with the utmost patience and passion, especially when teaching Buddha's lessons and praying. There is the rule of removing your shoes upon entering the temple as well as respectful behavior (no shouting or running, and appropriate attire only), both of which are common courtesies. Also, the monks can speak English, so to all of the curious non-Vietnamese speakers, please feel free to explore the temple and religion.

The buildings were beautiful and the vendors were plentiful. There was a huge open space for the vendors, eating area, and partying. I also thought it was clever that they brought the Buddhas out so people could wash them, which is a tradition during LNY. I was impressed. The only thing I didn't like was it was so far and you have to go trough a gravel like road to get there. But it's tolerable.

First off parking was horrible, the lot doesn't have enough gravel and the rain from earlier that day made it really muddy. There were some people leaving as I was getting there and their cars were stuck in the mudd. The temple itself is beautiful so don't strike me down for giving a place or worship 3 stars but I was just overwhelmed at how much trash there was around the place. The temple just recently started allowing beer on the property to be sold on New years and there were empty bottles everywhere AND drunk buffoons. They did have more boothes this year so I loaded up on all the homemade foods that I missed: papaya salad, sour mangos with spicy dipping sauce, bbq meatballs with a sweet plum sauce, spicy bbq wings, pho, shredded bamboo with herbs, Asian beef jerky, meat sticks, sweet sticky rice in sugar cane and LOTS of Thai tea and Thai coffee. They also had craw fish, lots of other soups like rice porridge and udon noodles but I was too stuffed to give those a try. Bring lots of cash as hardly anyone takes cards and go earlier in the day when people are sober and you'll also get to check out the parade. New Year's is celebrated around the 2nd-4th weeks of April and I wouldn't bring your children if you are coming in the evening as sadly the crowds are older people drinking, dancing and smoking. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint either but I think getting drunk off your ass at a temple is a bit wrong.

After nearly two years, with many financial and labor contributions from Buddha believers, the wild garden plot has become the solemn Huyền Quang Monastery today. They offered weekly practice activities every Sunday, monthly Eight Precepts retreat, and retreats for the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. In April 2012, local Buddhists invited Venerable Thích Pháp Hòa to open the first Spring retreat. In October 2013, Venerable Thích Nữ Thanh Vân accepted the invitation of the Board of Directors to take over as Abbot. In the future, this will be a place to study and educate young people in the Buddhist way of life. Highly recommended
