Van-Hanh Pagoda-NC Buddhist

Absolutely gorgeous Vietnamese Buddhist Temple. Parking was readily available. The entrance sneaks up on you if you drive too fast.
Plenty space for prayer and meditation. I love the Lotus Shrine rising out of the Koi pond! Just mind the signs to know when to take of shoes, best respectful, and enjoy.
I am not sharing all photos I took to encourage others to visit and enjoy!

Quick note: it seems someone erroneously shared photos of this location for another nearby Sri Lankan style Buddhist Learning Center. Van-Hanh is the Temple you are looking for.

Came here as part of a geocaching mission. What a beautiful, peaceful place. One can't help but find serenity and tranquility here. I've always driven by, and was finally glad to visit. It's much bigger than I had realized.

This is a nice temple, lovely little park outside of it and everyone was very friendly. They even served us free lunch when we went, they require you to wear a mask indoors which is awesome!

Fantastic place... Very peaceful, serene! About 20 minutes out from Raleigh/Cary...

I am from Nepal and vising this place gave me Lumbini(Birthplace of Gautam Buddha) vibes. Loved this beautiful place.

We so glad that the temple open for public, beautiful place. Thank you
