Temple bouddhique Linh Son, Buddhist temple in Joinville-le-Pont, France.

The temple consists of a large building with eastern architectural elements, featuring a prominent statue of Kshitigarbha measuring two meters in height positioned in the veranda.

Founded in 1975 by Vietnamese immigrants, the temple began in a house-dispensary before construction of the current structure started in 1977 and finished in 1984.

The temple functions as headquarters for the Linh Son World Buddhist Congregation, which oversees fifty temples worldwide and focuses on spreading Dharma teachings within Mahayana Buddhism.

Located at 9 Avenue Jean Jaures in Joinville-le-Pont, the temple houses twenty monks and nuns who maintain regular meditation sessions and ceremonies throughout the year.

The temple presents a fusion of Vietnamese Buddhist architecture within a French suburban setting, creating a spiritual center that bridges Eastern and Western cultural practices.
