Veil Parasol Temple

About Us

A practice home in the still tradition.

OUR MISSION

We hold open a quiet place for practice — a refuge from the noise of the day where anyone may come to sit, breathe, and turn toward what is real.

Our work is simple: to keep the lamp lit, the cushions ready, and the teachings within reach, so the path stays open for whoever arrives.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

Heart Sutra

True Buddha School

One taste, many doors.

A living lineage carried forward through devoted practice and the guidance of the root guru.

OUR HISTORY

From a small gathering of practitioners, this temple grew into a steady home for ceremony, study, and service — its doors widening year by year to all who seek the Dharma.
