Pháp Hoa Temple

Pháp Hoa Temple, Buddhist temple in Pennington, South Australia.

Pháp Hoa Temple, also called Dharma Lotus Temple, is a Vietnamese Buddhist temple at Pennington, South Australia, on a 5,000 m² plot. Its main hall opened in 1989, and a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva stands in the courtyard, not in the main hall. A three-entrance fence frames the grounds.

Pháp Hoa Temple was established in 1978 in a small house at 83 Addison Road, Rosewater, by Vietnamese immigrants led by Nguyen Van Tuoi, who invited the Most Venerable Thich Nhu Hue from Japan to direct it. Construction on a 5000 m² plot in Pennington began on 19 March 1984, and the main hall opened on 23 December 1989.

The temple's name, Chùa Pháp Hoa, means Dharma Lotus Temple, and it belongs to the United Vietnamese Buddhist Congregation. Its head is the Most Venerable Thich Nhu Hue, invited from Japan to direct the temple, and the abbot is the Reverend Thich Vien Tri. A new Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue stands in the courtyard.

The temple stands on a 5000 m² plot in Pennington, South Australia, with the main hall at the centre and the Avalokitesvara statue in the courtyard, reached through a three-entrance fence. Visitors should check opening times in advance and dress modestly when attending prayers or meditation sessions.

Following vandalism damage in 2003, the temple underwent a complete restoration finished in 2004 with a ceremony attended by South Australian political leaders. This event symbolized the broader Australian community's appreciation and support for the place.
