Vancouver Fo Guang Shan 溫哥華佛光山

Our founder, Venerable Master Hsing Yun is recognized world-wide for his dedication in promoting Humanistic Buddhism which embraces all traditions and schools and stresses the salient teachings of the Buddha, which are relevant to and essential for the well being and progress of humanity in modern times. Vancouver Fo Guang Shan is committed to serving as a bridge between East and West so that the Buddha's teachings of kindness, compassion, joyfulness, and equanimity might be integrated into our lives and of those around us to the benefit of all and that we might learn the ways to cultivate the wisdom to clearly understand the true nature of all things. Together with our lay service organization, Buddha's Light International Association (BLIA), we have jointly worked with other non-profit organizations helping the region in various ways.
