Tu Viện Tây Thiên (Chùa Trúc Lâm Tây Thiên) - Westlock Meditation Center

I love this temple. All the monks and nuns are so kind-hearted. I attended a retreat that was extremely well organized. The master monk Thầy Pháp Hòa was not only humble, he was in the kitchen helping all the people with food prepping and teaching us the proper ways to do things. He gave such positive energy that anyone around him yield such kindness and love toward each other its so amazing. It's so peaceful even amidst all the crowd. I would love to come back every year if I can.

Absolutely Heavenly 🙏🏽
Unfortunately, the Temple was closed. I'm trying to find the schedule or the hours of services/meditation classes. If anyone has any information, please forward it to me . Thank you 😊

It has been 11 years since I have been back to Westlock Meditation Center/Tu Vien Tay Thien. So much had changed. The scenery is so beautiful and peaceful. There is still work projects going on but is amazing to see all the new statues, meditation halls and buildings.

I'm surprised to see such a large and beautiful monastery in Canada, which usually we'd have to travel to Vietnam to find.

Huge area of monastery from Thầy Thich Phap Hoa. The scenery is absolute amazing even in winter time. They also have meditation courses every season in 4-10 days if you would like to learn about Dharama and Meditation.

Peaceful and beautiful.

A serene spot to gain inner calm🙏 or just breath in the fresh air❣ Beautifully nestled among the canola fields. Definitely worth the drive just to see the gardens!

Really cool experience. Glad we went 👍

Peaceful place

Always the best place to find some peace and quiet moment.

Amazing, so calm and quite. Worth a visit.

Very nice place for a peaceful time

Hopefully, one day i will be there so peaceful ♥♥♥♥

Peaceful great places to visit!

Beautiful and peaceful. Cannot wait for them to be fully open.

Great place where you can pull back yourself and live and enjoy every single moment. You don't live for the past nor the future. You are here, at that moment, existing, peace and calm.
Below are some photos I took on 3Apri22, we're so blessed to see a phenomenal natural moment at the Buddha statue outside around 2:30pm

Love this peaceful place!! ❤

Absolutely breath taking, I can't wait to see it finished. So much peace and serenity here 🙏💙

The place personifies Love. Much love went into building it, and even more in creating and maintaining the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. Much gratitude to you all.

Peace is all you feel here

Westlock Buddhist Meditation Centre is one of the kindest and affordable Buddhist meditation centers anywhere. The monks and nuns who run it are exceedingly kind and compassionate. Group retreats happen sporadically with vegetarian meals and bed included. The statues, imported from China, are beyond belief.
