Fo Guang Shan Guang Ming Temple — Local services in Conway

I have lived in Orlando for the past 20 years and have passed by Guang Ming Temple countless times, but it wasn't until today that I finally decided to step inside. And what a delightful experience it was!

Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Cristian, who graciously offered to guide me through the temple and share its rich history with me. We enjoyed a cup of fragrant jasmine tea together and engaged in a fascinating conversation in the serene surroundings of the temple.

The temple itself is a beautiful architectural marvel, and the peaceful atmosphere made me feel incredibly welcome. The friendly and open demeanor of the people I encountered only added to the positive experience.

Inside, there is a library where visitors can find books, incense, and other items. It was a truly enriching experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have spent time in such a wonderful place.
