Fu Sien Tong Buddist Temple

July 27, 2015
There are not many people know that there is a hidden Buddhist Temple in Downtown Toronto. I’ve been living in Toronto for almost 7 years and I’ve walked past the Temple few times. It was always closed when I walked past until today! First of all, let me tell you that I’ve been a Buddhist since I was born because my parents are Buddhists. However, everyone can choose their own religion and my parents are okay with that. I chose to be in Buddhism even though I grew up going to a Catholic school until junior high school.
After moving to Toronto, it’s been hard for me to go to a Thai Buddhist temple. There is one in Richmond Hill. It’s called «Wat Yanviriya Temple». In other words, I’m too lazy to travel far from downtown. I’m not a strict Buddhist but I believe in KARMA. I love to be in a temple. It always blesses me and makes me warm.
If you’re interested in a Buddhist temple even if you’re a Buddhist or not, Fu Sien Tong temple is one of temple I would love to recommend. It’s small but quiet and peaceful. The Chinese woman monk who was there at the time I visited, spoke English and was very helpful.
