Serendipitous discovery of such an authentic and grand Chinese Buddhist temple. It was like being in Taiwan. Their ceremonies, chanting and meditation are true to the ancient Chinese Mahayana lineage and heart felt. Large collection of complimentary books on Buddhism in English and Chinese.Monastics and members are sincere and welcoming. I was invited to join their delicious vegetarian buffet lunch after the ceremonies. Felt immediately immersed in compassionate warmth and serenity.Metta!

What a cool place I took some friends here during a visit to Portland. The volunteer was awesome he gave us a fun tour of the place.

Prayers for everyone all over the world. Pray for beautiful days to come with Sooooooo Much love and Peace all over the world for are children. ️. And for true love to find me.

I have not been there during mass yet but this place is beautiful and well decorated. I met some nice people who handed me some books which they had plenty to go around. I just wish they had mass on other days because they have it on Saturday and not Sunday like I prefer.

Miao Fa is a great place for anyone looking for a taste of Eastern culture, tranquility and contemplation. Come see the beautiful sculptures, grab a free book or spend some time the the Koi fish in the garden. The residents are very welcoming and leave your experience for you to make of it what you will. Even if you know nothing of Buddhist culture or philosophy, I guarantee that you will find something worthwhile in your visit.

Awesome people and the temple is beautiful. The meditation class is fabulous and informational. Stop by and join us for a free vegan lunch every saturday.

Beautiful Temple with intelligent monks who dont try to push you but are willing to help you on your path.

I joined there Saturday morning Mandarin Mantra ceremony and vegetarian lunch. The temple is beautiful and the people are wonderful. Ill be back.

A beautiful temple, maintained and cared for by some of the most sweet & courteous monks I have ever had the pleasure of meeting....

Most serene.

Lovely Taiwanese Buddist temple with beautiful garden ( with small pond and koi fish) near Downtown. They often have free vegan meal every Saturday around 11am - 12am. After that, there is 1 hour meditation session and 1 hour Dharma teaching with Q&A. In addition, they have many buddist teaching books by English, Chinese and Thai. The Monks are very friendly and helpful

Is beautiful, you feel welcomed and very at peace.

I sought refuge and you shunned me. That was twice now. Please tell the sweet sister that her anger harmed me greatly.

Beautiful art really pleasant people

I have enjoyed visiting this temple many times. I find the building and surrounding gardens to be very peaceful and full of beauty . Since I doubt act Heidi: is Buddhist, She doesnt understand the basics of gardening in the Chines fashion. ..trimming trees or shrubs to be a certain shape may seem a little extreme...but in the end all looks good as it fills into form. Dont criticize what your clueless about. remember that these people who are Monks may not speak english very well and may feel awkward. Being a Monk doesnt mean you have to chit chat with everyone who happens to come by...I see many smiles from everyone I meet there...

Very beautiful and peaceful!The very calming fan tail kio helped. LoL
