2022 Update: My site https://carolinabuddhism.org/ hasn’t been updated much, but at least here I’ve updated all the old dead Google Plus links into Google Photos.
North Carolina:
Chùa An Lac, High Point NC, 2014 (new building planned)
Update: A monk was shot and killed here after an unknown and likely unrelated shooting outside when the bullet went through the temple walls. The Vietnamese article used the photos here, so I guess someone is finding the blog when searching! A-di-da-phat , hope the monk can attain enlightenment as soon as possible!
