Linh Son Vietnamese Chinese Buddhist Temple

Chùa Linh Sơn

A Chinese-tradition Mahayana temple built by Vietnamese and Chinese Buddhist communities, whose halls and decor echo temples in China, just north of the Mahaparinirvana Temple.

Linh Son Temple was built under the guidance of a Vietnamese monk and is a Chinese-tradition Mahayana Buddhist temple. The statues, plaques and decorations inside have a strong East Asian character, and Chinese visitors will find them familiar. The compound has a statue of Guanyin and a spacious lawn, and it often welcomes Vietnamese and Chinese pilgrimage groups. It is only a few minutes' walk from the Mahaparinirvana Temple, making it a good stop on a worship route. Admission is free.
