About

Mun Su Sa was founded in early 1992 in an effort to spread the Buddha's teachings to both first and second generation Korean Americans. Because the abbot does not speak English, the worship services are held in Korean with an English translation provided.

The temple is located in a former bank, and its facilities include a Dharma room, monastic living quarters, and dining hall. Activities include Sunday devotional services of chanting and bowing and the celebration of several religious holidays, including the Buddha's Birthday in April and the day of Buddha's Enlightenment in December. On Sunday, Services and Meditation take place at 11:00 A.M. and Saturday Meditation is from 4:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M.
