YUAN THONG TEMPLE TODAY

The Yuan Thong Temple, under the guidance of Master You Huii, will celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) on February 16, 2026. The celebration will be a time of inner reflection on the Buddha’s light—the dispelling of darkness toward enlightenment—and on the promise of a new beginning, reflected in the gentle glow of lanterns throughout the temple grounds. The gates of the temple will remain open even before February 16 and in the days beyond, reminding all who enter that true prosperity begins with a renewed heart and a lighted path forward.
