I came to Fo Guang Shan Chung Mei Temple 佛光山中美寺 was because my neighbor recommended. This is a…read morebeautiful place to visit. It has a Sunday service with monks and prayers spoken in Chinese Mandarin. Fo Guang Shan Chung Mei Temple 佛光山中美寺 is part of the International Buddhist Progress Society (IBPS). Located in Stafford, this temple sits on 89 acres of land. It officially opened in 2001. Fo Guang Shan as 佛光山 in Chinese translates to "Buddha's Light Mountain", was founded by Master Hsing Yun 星雲大師 in 1967. Fo Guang Shan is the largest monastery in Taiwan. There are over 300 branch temples worldwide. As far as I know, besides Houston, there is one in Austin and Dallas. I got a chance to try vegetarian food at Water Drop Teahouse. Prices were reasonable and food was delicious. Because most of the vegetation was damaged from a recent arctic blast. The garden was not as green as I wanted. So, I'll be back this summer. p.s. I uploaded 40 photos to go with my review. You need to use a computer see them at https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fo-guang-shan-chung-mei-buddhist-temple-stafford?userid=jwPVqdHpVHCBfAe4pZBbgA

My mom has been here before and recommended the tea house. We ordered 3 side dishes- lotus,…read moreseaweed, and edamame, kimchi soup pot, kale fried rice, potstickers, and the fruit tea and prosperity tea. Everything is vegan and they have education in the temple about how decreasing consumption of animal products is beneficial for the environment. The teas were both absolutely incredible. The fruit tea is so sweet, tart, and refreshing. The prosperity tea has a lovely floral smell and light taste. All of the food was incredible, though the kimchi was quite spicy. I should have ordered mild. There is a small shop in the temple, a library, and some books on buddhism available for a small recommended donation. Visitors are allowed to walk the grounds and it is so beautiful and peaceful

Meenakshi temple canteen…read more A great huge temple built as close to an authentic South Indian grand place of worship, as possible. The main deity, as the name suggests, is Devi Meenakshi. Avoid during special Indian days if you like to avoid crowds (like me), or, make sure to head to the temple on Indian festivals to be a witness to all the splendor of shiny clothes, funfare, prayers, activities and a carnival like busy but happy atmosphere. A must visit for any South Indian theist. Dressing modest is mandatory. Canteen. A good variety of simple yet tasty food. Everything goes towards temple proceedings after basic wages are paid. (A lot of ladies and gentlemen volunteer too.) There is limited dining area, but between indoor and outdoor, and the constant flow of devotees moving in and out, it gets managed pretty well. The food is prepared fresh which in itself is a crowd puller and we never come away without a box of lemon rice and curd rice as a to-go.

I visited this past weekend from out of town at the recommendation of my pastor back home, and I'm so glad I went! This is a gem of a church which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to be immersed in the truth of God's word, and to worship God together with a loving family of believers. I'll definitely go again next time I'm in Houston.
