Vinh Nghiem Temple is one of the Buddhist temples most easily accessible via public transport in Cabramatta.
Now anyone who knows Vinh Nghiem Temple in Vietnam might feel a little let down by the distinctly more humble aspect of Sydney's branch.
Vinh Nghiem in Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's largest and most vibrant Buddhist institution, a constant on any tourist itinerary. In Sydney it is a humble fibro cottage with an add-on out the back.
But rest assured it is the real McCoy - the Abbot, Ven. Thich Vien Chon, hails from Vinh Nghiem TPHCM, and was in his day a famous teacher at the Vinh Nghiem Buddhist High School (now closed).
We had a lovely time making our own fresh spring rolls (goi cuon) under the tutelage of Vinh Nghiem Temple's resident nuns.
