hsi lai temple印象

A short drive from anywhere in the greater Los Angeles this hidden gem is the perfect place to spend an afternoon! Weather you are interested in learning more about Buddhism, Chinese culture, or simply searching for a brief escape from the city Hsi Lai Temple has something for everyone. The architecture is reminiscent of that found in the Forbidden City in Bejing China, with beautiful gardens to gaze at, a courtyard for photo ops. and an awe inspiring main shrine. Be sure to bring your appetite and arrive between the hours of 11:30-1:30 to feast on the delicious vegetarian buffet, or stop by the tea room any time for refreshments and a sweet snack. The temple is open to visitors seven days a week without notice or reservation, if you want the full experience join a free tour offered on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. For the latest information refer to their comprehensive website where you can find a calendar of events including classes in meditation and basic Buddhist concepts. As you can see from my other reviews, I have traveled to several Countries in Asia, visit this Temple and you will feel as if you are in another world without having to endure the long flight or expense. ENJOY!

今年除夕辞岁来的这里，跟着大家一起诵经。现场各种豪华、美丽、壮观。另外，这里的素斋饭味道不错，特别是炸菜叶，非常好吃。

Unique setting in Los Angeles. Sometimes while wandering the temple grounds it was hard to imagine I was not in Asia. Take time to eat in the cafe and allow time for the peace and serenity in the temple.

Peace and quiet! A place to breathe and absorb the calmness, beauty, and peacefulness of soul and body!

I have been coming here for many years. The architecture is styled after Ming Dynasty palace. There is a information center where you can watch TV and get tea/coffee. You can find out what classes are being offered in English and in Chinese and what activities are going on. You can also find out the activity schedule on hsilai.org website calendar. There is a museum that features changing display about every few months on art, crafts, etc There is a cafeteria that features lunch buffet. Lunch time is from 11 to 2:30PM. Right outside the cafeteria is the gift shop. If you want to learn Buddhism, I suggest asking the receptionist in the information center when classes are being offered. Usually the English class are offered Sunday morning 10:00AM.Don't wear shorts, tank tops, flip flops or skimpy clothes if you are going into the main shrine. Dress conservatively. Jeans and

This is a popular faithful attraction for many Asian visitors to the greater Los Angeles area and their parking lot is being expanded to fit more tour buses. There is no fees for admission but donations are always welcomed, restrooms are clean & accessible, and elevators will bring those with needs up to the main level above as the stairs can be a challenge to climb up & down - wear comfortable shoes. The grounds & areas are well maintained with very good signage - it is a "living" temple and hidden away coming up a small hill. We visited this place twice before & came back this month briefly as SIL & Mrs. wanted to stop in for an offering & say their prayers - it is truly a place for those with religious belief, buddhism and/or otherwise - to seek inner peace, spiritual guidance, comfort, and say their prayers, etc. while making their offerings - as donations, however small & symbolic are welcomed - just drop them in the box. My understanding is that there is always a vegetarian meal offered & available - just beware that it is especially busy & crowded on the 1st. & 15th day of each month of the lunar Chinese calendar - call ahead & confirm to plan your visit accordingly. From the parking lot, you can look downhill & across the valley and enjoy the scenic settings - they do ask that no photography be taken inside their religious malls (the open & outdoor space, grounds & "pubic" area within their grounds are fine, be respectful of other's privacy & needs.) It's about 5 to 10 minutes off the I-60 Freeway & easy to get to, check their official website for details.

Great place to take the family to for an outing. Very beautiful and peaceful. Everyone in your family is bound to get something out if it.

Beautiful temple. The interior of the main shrine is incredible. Nice museum with some beautiful art.Wonderful place to relax. Yummy veggie buffet for $7. If you just drop by for the buffet it's worth the trip. No photos inside the temples, outside is ok. Well worth a visit.
