Local temple very quiet and respectful place. The managing monk accepted my brother's ash after cremation and kept there for years. I made a donation to the temple to recognize his great bountiful gesture. Great buddist place to gather and pray.

Very crowded at Luna New Year Day. Hard to find a place to park, but we had a good visit to the temple. Everyone was so cheerful because of Tet.
