The United States of America is largely a Judeo-Christian society, but Buddhism is doing pretty well there. During my brief stay in California I visited a number of Buddhist temples and monasteries. Here are some of them…
Rosemead Buddhist Monastery, in Rosemead…

Hsi Lai Temple, in Hacienda Heights. This is the branch temple of Taiwan’s Foguangshan…

Morning alms round in Metta Forest Monastery a.k.a Wat Metta, in Valley Center. The first monk is Thanissaro Bhikkhu (Ajahn Geoff)…

Main hall (sala) of Wat Metta…

This is me (left) with two other guys in Wat Metta. I think the one on the right has been ordained. (Peter, can you please confirm?)
