Namo A Di Da Phat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Dinh Quang Buddhist Temple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinh Quang Temple is a member of the Midwest Sangha of Vietnamese Buddhist Temples, with communities in twelve states from Texas to Michigan. Our abbot, the Venerable Thich Thong Chanh, is of the 43rd generation of the L\u00e2m T\u1ebf (Linji) lineage of Vietnamese Thien (Zen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is welcome to join us as we practice the Buddha\u2019s teachings. We have services in both Vietnamese and English languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Vietnamese-speaking services (on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m.) reflect our temple\u2019s lineage and culture, with a blend of Pure Land and Zen Buddhism. This reflects our community\u2019s need for a place to preserve and celebrate Vietnamese Buddhist culture, language, and practice. For more information in Vietnamese, please contact Venerable Thay (email<\/a> or phone<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our English-speaking services (on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. and Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m.) are ecumenical, reflecting our community\u2019s need for a place for people from diverse Buddhist backgrounds to encourage one another to practice with the Buddha\u2019s teachings. We also welcome those of other faiths and no faith, without expectation of conversion and with mutual respect for our shared goal of cultivating wisdom and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Vietnamese- and English-speaking services share a commitment to practicing the Buddha\u2019s teachings through study, chanting, meditation, ceremonies, and holiday celebrations under the guidance of our Venerable Thay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our English-speaking services are also available online. We livestream most chanting and meditation services to our Facebook page<\/a>, and our Dharma classes<\/a> are typically available through Google Meet. We are also a participating temple in the Dharma Teacher Order<\/a>, which provides online instruction leading to a Certificate in Buddhist Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
