Venerable XianAn, a self-made successful business woman, became a Buddhist nun at Wei Mountain Temple located in Los Angeles and spent several years practicing meditation and Mahayana Buddhism in South Korea. Over a cup of oolong or pu-er tea, you can ask her any questions that you’d like, such as questions regarding personal concerns, fundamentals of meditation and Buddhist teachings. Venerable XianAn can also show you around the temple so you can be exposed to different activities.
After this tea talk, you could learn the basics of sitting Chan Meditation or join Master YongHua’s Dharma talk in the Buddha Hall and listen to the words of wisdom from a great Chan Meditation Master. Chan Meditation will help you find your inner sanctuary away from the hectic life. It will eventually open your heart and build better skills to find solutions to your life problems. Furthermore, you will develop inner strength and wisdom to deal with all sorts of problems in life.
A former Lutheran church on the corner of Ulloa street and 33rd Ave in the Sunset District is now adorned with ten-foot sandalwood statues of the Buddha and two sages. The soft sunlight comes through the original church’s stained glass windows and the original church pews are still there to greet the temple visitors. “Our Temple welcomes all, regardless of ethnicity or religion and does not seek to replace other religions,” explains Master XianZhi, abbot of the Temple. “In our approach to people, we respect their background.”
