First time we saw this temple was in 2016 when I was visiting NJ and now after 6 years I visited this holy place while becoming a resident. That's how times have beautifully changed. The temple is still work in progress with the gopuram still under construction. But the temple's interiors are completed and the deities of the God's look so divine and give you the vibes you expect. The priest is very kind and hospitable. This is definitely a must visit if you are in NJ.

Soji Zen Center is the place that became home, for many reasons. The teacher, Shuzen Sensei, has been practicing and studying for over 30 years and his knowledge and insight is amazing. The people who practice at Soji are all wonderful--warm, dedicated and welcoming. And as someone who cares a great deal about diversity, I am thrilled that Soji not only has women and people of color attending, but women and people of color in positions of authority! The center is small but lovely and while not the most important point, the plentiful and free parking is a nice plus! Soji offers a huge range of options. Sundays there's service with a chanting of the Heart Sutra, three sitting sessions and a dharma talk. Thursday nights is more informal with three sittings. Monday nights there are two sittings. There are workshops on a variety of topics throughout the year, an intensive practice period from March to June and two yearly week long retreats. The center is welcoming to everyone from experienced Zen students to those who have never meditated before (there's free meditation instruction every Thursday) and you can grow your practice here with the guidance of a wonderful teacher and a caring community.

The temples I am used to are either really isolated or in residential areas, but I live in the suburbs. In reflection, it makes sense for the temples in the cities to be in a more retail area. This is a Chinese Buddhist Temple. The master of the temple was resting and unavailable, but I came across one of her disciples when I visited. Even if you're not Buddhist, you can still come and pay your respects and seek good luck. Just remember to take off your shoes when you enter. I just enjoyed coming by a temple while I'm travelling and stopped in to prayed. It was a nice peaceful feeling.

I purchased a holiday meal recently at the Mikveh Israel website and when I arrived for the meal but late for the services, BIll Vassel, the vp of the synagogue, accosted me at the door and repeatedly yelled "I AM NOT A RESTAURANT" and later threatened to "throw you the f-ck out" because I pointed him out. I later reported this to Eli Gabay, the president, and he threatened me in so many words if I reported it. The Rabbi and several of the congregants saw it and apologized to me for Vassel's behavior. They don't get that it is wrong to turn Jews away from a synagogue, including paying guests. If you pay for a meal there online but don't get there in time for the services, stay away or you could be accosted too.

I worked there for almost 3 years (1982 to 1985) in a responsible position as Confidential Secretary to the Director of Missions. Having retired to Penney Farms, Florida in 2011, I was asked to work for them again (2012 to 2014) as a "long-distance" volunteer, contacting candidate missionaries by phone. I'm not sure of the date, but after 2014, the Home Office moved to a modern building located in Exton, PA, and adopted the new name: InFaith. Their history is long. The Mission began as the American Sunday School Union in the early 1800's, establishing Sunday Schools all over the country, so-called because one of the goals was teaching people how to read, beginning with the Bible. Before that, they were known as The First Day Society, established in Philadelphia, PA, in 1791. They have always been multi-denominational. For a look, type: InFaith, Exton, PA into your search engine, and see the outreaches to farmers, inner cities, youth work, nursing homes, chaplaincy for firefighters and police, immigrants, teaching English as a second language, camping, and more. They have good reviews online. Best job I ever had! You can use my name: Nancy Moore
