About Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple

A Buddhist temple at 16 Stancombe Road in Flat Bush, Auckland, run by Fo Guang Shan New Zealand. Visitors must wear long pants or a long skirt to enter. The temple offers education, cultural and charity activities, and has a small restaurant. It can also be hired for events, and the website lists ceremonies such as the Triple Gem refuge and five precepts ceremony and blessings for babies and children.

Visitors describe it as a beautiful and peaceful place to visit with family, and one says it was lucky to see silk woven paintings on a first visit. We hear a cherry blossom festival is planned for November 2026, with markets, tea meditation and a classic car show. The website also lists an expression of interest for the 2027 International Buddhist Youth Conference.
