On this day, We will be eye-dotting a brand new dragon to celebrate!
We are inviting you all to come celebrate this special occasion with us.
There will be free roast pork lunch (until supplies are out and donations are welcome) served after the eye dotting ceremony at the back of the temple in the cafeteria. Come hungry and be ready to eat and enjoy lots of dragon and lion dance.


The Ông Bổn Festival, also known as the God of Earth Festival, is a traditional celebration by Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, especially in Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. It honors Ông Bổn, or Tudigong (the God of Earth and Wealth), who is believed to protect families, communities, and businesses, bringing prosperity and peace.
The festival features offerings of food and incense, lively lion and dragon dances, and community gatherings. In some areas, there are processions with statues of Ông Bổn, accompanied by music and performances. It’s a joyful event that blends Chinese traditions with local culture and emphasizes gratitude and good fortune.
