One visit here, and you’ll be hooked!

Buddhism is why we are here. Proud Lao-Americans is why we are here. Our mission is to welcome everyone with open arms and teach the world about the philosophy of Buddhism, to educate others about who we are, where we came from, and what makes our culture as beautiful as any other culture and ethnicities. Come, and we will shower you with love and compassion.

Our community exists today, for the past 30+ years because of volunteers. In Lao, we call it Nam Jai (ນຳ້ໃຈ), meaning from the heart. From the monks to the construction team and the chefs who cook for the monks and the team, everyone does it from the goodness of their hearts. No one’s efforts, big or small, go unnoticed and unappreciated. We exude greatness from volunteerism.
