Chung Tian Temple, Buddhist temple in Priestdale, Queensland, Australia
Chung Tian Temple is a Buddhist place of worship in Priestdale featuring a seven-tiered pagoda and several buildings across its grounds. The site includes a hall dedicated to Bodhisattva veneration, meditation rooms, a dining area for visitors, and spaces for teaching and lectures.
The temple was founded by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, with construction beginning in January 1991 and official opening in June 1993. This marked an early phase in the establishment of Buddhist institutions within Australia.
The temple serves as a gathering place where visitors can learn meditation techniques and participate in teachings about Buddhist philosophy. Regular activities create a space where people of different backgrounds come together to practice spiritual disciplines.
Visitors can attend meditation sessions and Buddhist classes for children on Sundays. It is best to check ahead about visiting hours and dress code expectations, as this is an active place of worship.
The temple hosts an annual children's camp each September, combining educational activities with Buddhist teachings. This program gives young visitors a chance to experience spiritual practices through play and learning.
