Hsi Lai Temple, Buddhist temple in Hacienda Heights, California, United States
This mountain monastery spans across the northern Puente Hills with traditional Chinese architecture, multiple halls, gardens, and ceremonial spaces spanning 15 acres.
The temple construction began in 1986 after extensive community discussions, and Master Hsing Yun completed this first overseas branch of Fo Guang Shan in 1988.
Monks and nuns conduct regular ceremonies in Mandarin with English translations, teaching meditation techniques and Buddhist principles to diverse communities.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours, meditation classes, Buddhist education programs, and vegetarian meals.
The temple contains an Arhat Garden featuring 18 stone sculptures of enlightened beings, positioned among traditional Chinese landscaping and water features.
