I can't say enough good things about the Orange County Buddhist Temple. I came here looking for…read morepeace and found something even more meaningful -- a real community. Everyone here is welcoming, down-to-earth, and genuinely cares about helping one another grow. What makes this temple special is that it's not just about rituals or lectures -- it's about people. The temple creates a space where anyone, especially younger generations, can slow down, reconnect, and find balance in a busy world. Whether you're curious about Buddhism, exploring mindfulness, or just need a place that feels like home, this is it. The gatherings are warm and inclusive, the teachings are practical, and the energy is uplifting. I've met friends here who inspire me to live with more compassion, gratitude, and authenticity every day. If you've been looking for community, meaning, or simply a place where you can be yourself and feel supported -- come here. You'll walk away lighter, calmer, and more connected than you ever expected.

So I will be totally honest, we were driving by and saw this temple and decided since my son had…read moremissed going during the Lunar New Year, we decided to stop on by. From a temple perspective it was on the smaller side but it was quite nice. The grounds were clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. A super nice added touch was a volunteer hit the singing bowl everytime we bowed in prayer, even though we were the only ones praying at that time Timing is everything 6!!!!!! full busses stopped by while we were wrapping up so we avoided the crush. They also had a nice selection of vegetarian food available as well. There are multiple parking lots for this temple as well

I haven't been to this temple since I was young, but it still looks the same as when I was younger. During the Tet festivities, they had live music, fireworks, food stands, lion dance, and photo ops. It was a little chaotic trying to do the countdown to the new year and it was hard to hear them because of the lion dancing and fireworks ongoing. Overall decent experience, but probably wouldn't do it again next year.

A nice monk was watering some plants and some people came to light incense and pray. We came to waste some time waiting for the inlaws to finish frying katsu. My oldest son liked the statues and loved donating money.

I have been going here almost every night to listen to Thay doc Kinh Phap Hoa. The young monks and…read morenuns here read Kinh Phap Hoa every night (except 2 nights before Lay Sam Hoi on the 14 and the 29 or 30th, Vietnamese Day of every month) from 7:30pm to 8:30pm. They read Kinh Dieu Phap Lieu Hoa in a good speed where I can still follow. I don't read or write Vietnamese, it's a good speed to learn to read along. I've been to other temples and they read really really fast, but this temple speed is perfect for me. Each Month they also have Lay Sam Hoi twice a month, also at a really really speed too. I love the peaceful environment the monks, nuns, and the people here offer. It's a small crowd, ~10 to 15 people each night, but the environment is very peaceful and relaxing. People come, sit, read Kinh, then go home. This Wednesday, November 9, 2011 (which is the 14th Vietnamese date) is the Lay Sam Hoi Day.

The space was also much bigger and they had the best vegetarian meal. We got 2 banquet tables reserved and were served heaps of delicious food that were as good if not better than traditional restaurants. I'm addicted to their egg rolls. We were also served bánh hỏi thịt quay chay, bánh bao vịt quay chay, rice vermicelli with hot pot chay, mì xào giòn chay, and a couple more dishes. They were all incredible. I'm still thinking about the food and wondering if it's sacrilege to reserve for regular party. If you come here for Buddhist related things, don't miss out on their food!
