Through regular teachings, meditation sessions, and community events, we aim to foster compassion, clarity, and well-being for individuals and families from all walks of life. By nurturing mental, emotional, and spiritual health, Vien Quang Temple aspires to be a source of support and wisdom for those seeking balance, resilience, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
