Cleansing session anyone?…read more When you're looking for the perfect way to start the Chinese New Year! This is a temple which my mom's best friend who is Thai recommended as she comes here and brings food for the monks every week. During a Chinese New Year, as you may already know, Asian parents want you to wash all your sins so that you could have a prosperous new year. So mom advised me to visit the Virgin Mary statue in Long Beach and then to this Thai temple. Although I'm not Buddhist, I've been very interested in Buddhism lately as I've read a lot of scientific reviews regarding the affects of sound and prayer of specific séances which can actually heal the body and at other times destroy cancer. The temple is situated on a beautiful lot with tons of citrus trees and a bunch of oversized cock statues. There were three monks who worked on the day I visited. We removed our shoes and went in. We were then provided an envelope to write our name and place a cash monetary donation in. After that you kneel in front of the monks before they simultaneously start chanting. It was such a beautiful feeling and to feel the love and energy through their vibrations which really heals the mind and relieves stress. If you've into sound healing with bowls you'll like this! They then gave both my mom and I a necklace and a bracelet before we left. Traditionally monks are not supposed to touch a woman's hand or body so they delicately placed my bracelet onto my wrist carefully as to not touch my skin. They sent me home with some holy water to rinse in the shower and were so nice that they also gave me a huge serving of their freshly picked loquats and two grapefruits which were both organically grown in their lush front yard garden. The loquat skin was so sweet although the actual fruit was a bit sour. The head monk takes pictures with his guests and texts his guests pictures of their visit. The day after I visited he reached out to me and told me that he will be praying for three days to make me a special holy water. He also told me that when I come back, he had a gift for me and that it was a Buddha amulet from the infamous monk Somdej Watrakang from Thailand. This is the best therapy if you're looking to meditate and clear your mind. There's always a serenity that really cleanses the soul when you leave a temple or monastery. I'm definitely coming back here again and will try to be a regular.

Sometimes we all need reminders about the beauty in simplicity. My Sister took me to an event that…read moreincluded Monk Chanting, Spiritual Speaking, & Light Yoga workout. Blessed..

The talk was a clear attempt to shift our minds to a kinder way of living, which is LOVING... please remember our donations, although never requested, are greatly welcomed and worth the experience without doubt. Namaste & Please Support Love Today & Today Only!

Went there because it's the nearest temple from me at that time. I asked my friend to make a stop…read morethere and to pray because we encountered with some problems at the moment. There is Kuanyin statue by the gate then there is the statue of the God of Fortune by the walkway towards inside garden and the main hall. On its garden, there is a Golden statue of Kuanyin and some other gods. We saw a temple keeper and he called the monk to open the door to the main hall for us to enter and pray. There is two levels table placed different gods and there is donation box by the first table. After we pray and gave donation we stepped out and I took some pic of the garden and the Golden statue of Kuanyin. I love their garden. By the way, it is a Vietnamese Buddhist temple. The monk asked us if we spoke Mandarin and we said yes, we bowed and said thank you in Mandarin to the monk. It is a nice comfortable temple where you feel welcomed at any time of the day, of course during the temple hours.
