Beautiful place, quite, a great place to gather your thoughts. Now as for the gardens, they seem abanyin some places...in other, like in an eternal construction... nevertheless, I will always go to calm my thoughts...

Owners locked the door so I couldn’t get in and I got bit by their dogs in the front. It’s also a mess. Looks like they need help keeping things clean. Otherwise the place is beautiful.

We love coming here to support every Sunday morning. Everyone works together happily to support and run the temple. Food is always good and fresh since it comes straight from their farm. I love that they also take care of stray cats and dogs, very well-behave as well.

STAY AWAY!!//TRÁNH NƠI NÀY!! The monastery is also not a true non-profit organization and conducts business inside the temple via sales of food. Moreover on the food sold/given, Quan Am has a MASSIVE sanitation issue. The food they give you comes from kitchens riddled with roaches and rats. I have found baby roaches in my food once here—nothing that'll get you sick, but it's disgusting nonetheless. And I believe they've been breeding or allowing a bunch of stray cats to breed to prevent some of the rat infestation, but it sort of just added an extra layer of disease to it all now that there are a bunch of sickly cats roaming around the place and sleeping in discarded cardboard boxes. The whole place is just weird and sketchy. I'd just avoid it entirely.

Beautiful monastery with extensive gardens. Only a couple monastics here to tend to the entire grounds, they sell vegetables in order to stay open. Must be a lot of work, but very impressive and enjoyable especially the massive lotus pond

Every Chinese New Year, I have been going there for praying. Last two three years, the center Buddha building has been closed. I don't understand why. This Chinese New Year, center building still closed. I went to back building to see if I can pray. I opened the door, the place was so messy and dark. Buddha temple should not be like that. I am very disappointed. Lucky, I'm still can pray at KuanYin statue.

Very calm, serene Buddhist monastery . This place is run by Nuns from Vietnam and they are doing an amazing job in maintaining this huge place. Lots of greenery around too. Ideal for meditation, or just visiting a Buddhist monastery.
