Tet is one of the monastery’s most wonderful celebrations of the year. We celebrate the beginning of the Lunar New Year according to Vietnamese tradition, which includes a New Year’s Eve Ceremony and performances, oracle readings, visiting the monastic residences, games for kids, and more. Please join us for this joyful celebration. All are welcome!
Please note that the monastery will be closed after Tet from February 23 to March 14.
