The Lord Buddha always teaches us to respect life, take good care of life and maintain long term peace. Therefore, to fulfil the Buddha’s teachings, the Five Sights Hall will provide vegetarian food to locals and tourists who visit our temple.

Venerable Shi Fazhao pointed out that vegetarian food is not only part of Buddhist culture; but it would eventually become part of the modern lifestyle. Enjoying healthy vegetarian food not only promotes benevolence and prevents the slaughtering of animals; it also helps to promote the development of the harmonious spirit in the modern city life.

The five sights include: 1) counting the amount of the merits, paying attention to where it comes from; 2) thinking of what I have done right, accumulating more good deeds; 3) prevent doing wrong things; 4) right action is the best medicine; and 5) in order to complete the karma of Buddhism, one must take this food.
