Vision and Mission of Xa Loi Temple
​Meditation Center​

The land and temple are a spiritual oasis meant to be a place of peace and healing for all people. The spiritual foundation of the temple is Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhism, with monks, nuns, and Hanh Su’s (Lay ministers) who daily maintain the monastic practices of meditation and prayer.  It has been Master Bao Thanh’s vision to have the temple be a community center where all can share in the traditions of the temple, but also bring the community's gifts and practices of healing body, mind and spirit. In the Buddha’s teachings, there are no divisions, when we share our compassion and wisdom, we are sharing our Buddha nature, and Bodhisattva vows to help all sentient beings.
