Pho Quang Temple

Phở Quang Temple is a place of quiet and peace. It is home to several Buddhist nuns. While Vietnamese is the main language used at the temple, other languages are spoken, Mandarin, Cantonese, and English to name three.
Its Chinese New Year celebrations are of the bigger local community ones complete with lion dancing and firecrackers amongst the festivities. Best to car pool for this as cars are parked throughout much of the local streets.
What is probably less known is that the temple is also the final resting place of those who have passed away. I have a relative whose ashes are placed here. The nuns have always made me feel welcome when I visit if they see me.
The walk around the gardens of the temple on my way back out to the car is a calming and refreshing one.

Phở Quang Temple is a beautiful and peaceful temple in Marangaroo. Finding the temple is somewhat tricky, as it is nestled deep within the winding roads of north-​eastern suburbia. Once there, though, the temple has a quiet and calm vibe as you walk under ornate arches and towards the various buildings.
Phở Quang Temple is home to several nuns, who are happy to talk. While the temple has a strong slant towards Vietnamese [the noticeboard is largely in Vietnamese], the temple welcomes those of all ethnicities.
There is one place for worship and contemplation, and there is also another room for those wanting to pay respects to the decease. My late maternal grandmother’s ashes rests in this temple, and there are a plentiful amount of incense sticks in the room.
Phở Quang Temple is a lovely oasis of calm in Perth.
