Fo Guang Shan Temple is a Buddhist temple of the Mahayana monastic order in Mississauga, Ontario. Its is the only Canadian branch of Fo Guang Shan from Taiwan. The temple features a prayer hall and tea house[1] on the ground floor, a library and museum on the second floor, and a meeting hall and rooms on the lower floor. The building is opened to the public year-round, although prayer areas are closed during prayer service on Mondays.
A secondary temple was opened in Thornhill in 1999, and was relocated to another site in Markham in 2002.[specify] The facilities were built to offer members in the eastern portions of the Greater Toronto Area who may not be able to travel to the Mississauga site.[2]
