Wednesday Night
Dharma Talk and Meditation
June 4, 7:30 PM - 9 PM
Quang Minh Temple is honored to welcome back Geshe Ngawang Phende, a resident Tibetan monk from Drepung Loseling Monastery in Brookhaven. Geshe-la has been a regular presence at the temple, and many have found his teachings deeply moving and transformative. His ability to bridge ancient wisdom with the challenges of modern life inspires us to look inward with compassion and clarity.
In this upcoming Dharma Talk and mindfulness meditation session, conducted in English, Geshe-la will guide us in exploring the roots of our negative emotions—why they arise, and how we can begin to shift our perspective for greater peace and happiness. This is a powerful opportunity to deepen your practice, gain insight, and cultivate mindfulness in a way that’s grounded, practical, and meaningful. We warmly invite you to join us and experience the calm and clarity that comes from within. May this practice benefit all beings.
Sunday Meditation
Second Sunday Basic Meditation
June 8, 2 PM - 3 PM
Facilitator: Chris Yoder
Chris has been directly involved with Georgia Buddhist Camp since it began more than twelve years ago. A dedicated practitioner of many traditions, Chris will lead a meditation focusing on breath awareness, mindfulness, and compassion. This practice will include both seated and walking meditation to enrich the experience.

What to Expect:
Weekly Sunday Vietnamese Service
Vietnamese Chanting | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Vegetarian Lunch | 12:30 PM – 1:00 PM
Each Sunday, we gather in the peaceful halls of Quang Minh Temple to nourish both body and spirit. Through Vietnamese chanting, we create positive vibrations that ripple through our sacred space, cleansing the mind, calming the heart, and grounding us in the present moment.
This is more than just a service—it’s a connection.
In the midst of our busy, ever-changing modern world—samsara—a consistent spiritual practice helps us anchor ourselves in peace, clarity, and purpose. It reminds us we’re not alone in our efforts to live with compassion and mindfulness. When we gather as a sangha, we are supported by one another on the path to liberation. The community we build is one of the Three Jewels (Triple Gem 💎 💎💎) of Buddhism, alongside the Buddha and the Dharma. Whether you’re a longtime practitioner or new to chanting, your presence adds to the collective energy of healing and harmony. Come chant, connect, and share a nourishing meal with us. We’d love to welcome you into our circle of peace. 🙏
