Tu Viện Đại Bi — Local services in Garden Grove

I attended Le Khanh Via Quan The Am this morning 7/13/25. The temple is spacious, clean, and well maintained in and out. The nuns are quite friendly who often smile and look at you with beautiful twinkled eyes. The one and half hour praying session is well organized. The Buddhist chant is in simple easy Vietnamese language for me, who is not a devoted Buddhist, to understand and follow from start to end. The temple's eating area is located outside on the left wing of the temple as I enter the parking lot. It serves healthy delicious vegetarian food, desserts and drinks, that are prepared and cooked by nuns, lay persons or volunteers. Today everyone was treated free lunch: pho and com chay. One can buy yummy flavorful displayed food for reasonable prices as a way to financially support the temple. I really had a very impressive experience at Tu Vien Dai Bi. This is now my refuge when I seek for tranquility, peace, wisdom and strength to move on righteously, nonjudgmentally, confidently and compassionately through this very challenging but meaningful life.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽My 2 new friends and I came here very early on a Sunday morning in August 2021. We must be the first people to come for breakfast that day. The setting was wonderful: very serene, very simple, everything was so nice and clean. The weather was perfect, sunny and comfortable cool. I said to my 2 new friends... " This is Nirvana enough! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Really, we would not have to drive to to the Truc Lam Dai Dang Monastery, if the opportunity did not come today. This was serene, soothing enough." ... Anyway, the opportunity did come. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 And we decided to bring quite a lot of the Temple's home-cooked food as Offerings to the monks in the Monastery. Several boxes of vegetarian meals, snacks, nutritious drinks were the loaded into the trunk of my friends' car. ... The breakfast was terrific. The chance to bring that much of Offerings to the Monks was PRICELESS! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 GOOD THOUGHTS = GOOD KARMA! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Nam Mô A Di Đà PHẬT 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Nam Mô A Di Đà PHẬT 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Nam Mô A Di Đà PHẬT...

A beautiful and very peaceful temple to visit. The nuns were very helpful and explained everything we asked. They asked us to stay for lunch but we just ate lunch right...
