Fo Guang Shan Hsi Fang Temple 佛光山西方寺

Fo Guang Shan Hsi Fang Temple 佛光山西方寺 San Diego Buddhist Association a.k.a. Fo Guang Shan Hsi Fang Temple is a Chinese Buddhist Mahayana t It is founded by the Venerable Master Hsing Yun in 1989.

This temple is open to everyone, including non-Buddhists and non-members. Hsi Fang Temple was built to serve those who are interested in learning Buddhism as well as Chinese culture and to act as a bridge of cultural exchange between the East and the West. It is associated with the Fo Guang Shan order and temple in Taiwan as well as the Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, California. The founding

order, Fo Guang Shan Temple (Buddha’s Light Mountain Temple), is the founding order of Hsi Fang Temple, which was established in Taiwan in 1967. Venerable Master Hsing Yun has endeavored to propagate Humanistic Buddhism throughout the East, and later on, he vows to spread Buddhism in the western world. Hsi Fang Temple was thus established to symbolize the dissemination of the Buddhist doctrines in the westerly direction. “Hsi Fang” literally means “direction to the west”.
