Buddhist Temple Visit

One of the largest of its kind in North America – feels like stepping into Beijing’s ancient Forbidden City. Scented with aromatic incense, complex tile-topped halls, golden Buddha figures and fierce-looking lion statues began welcoming worshippers in 1983. This spectacular site has kept its tall wooden doors fully open to non-Buddhist visitors curious about the symbols, philosophies and architecture. Entry is free (though donations are gratefully accepted) and it’s a deeply fascinating destination to dive into for an hour or two! Bus trip with  Tapestry at Wesbrook Village.
