The Hai An Pagoda is my favorite place to be! The meditation hall is spacious and beautiful, decorated with Oriental carpets, paper lanterns, beautiful statues, and flowers. More importantly, the people are wonderful!
A service is held in English every Wednesday evening, from 6:30 — 8:30, and I never miss it! They host an evening of chanting, sitting meditation, walking meditation, a tea ceremony, and a dharma discussion. Once a month, Ven. Xin-​Xing of Dharma Seal Monastery is the sangha’s special guest, and he leads the dharma discussion. The Buddhist precepts are reviewed on a monthly basis, as well.
In addition to the Wednesday evening English services, the Hai An Pagoda also holds Sunday services in Vietnamese. While this is a Vietnamese Zen/​Pure Land temple, I would encourage anyone with an interest in any school of Buddhism, and/​or in meditation to check it out. It’s a wonderful place to practice, and you will be in very good company! :)
