A former Lutheran church on the corner of Ulloa street and 33rd Ave in the Sunset District is now adorned with ten-foot sandalwood statues of the Buddha and two sages. The soft sunlight comes through the original church’s stained glass windows and the original church pews are still there to greet the temple visitors. “Our Temple welcomes all, regardless of ethnicity or religion and does not seek to replace other religions,” explains Master XianZhi, abbot of the Temple. “In our approach to people, we respect their background.” Friday program 5-6pm Sitting Meditation or Tea time 6-7pm Dharma talk by Master YongHua 7-8:30pm Tea, snack & socializing 8:30-10pm Sutra lecture Feel free to join any activities at your convenient time.
