In Roanoke, Virginia\u2014a quiet mountain town\u2014Phat Son Temple &#8211; Buddha Mountain Center has been a small yet welcoming space for practice and community since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we face a heartfelt challenge: our current space is too small, with limited parking and no room to grow. To better serve the community, our abbot, Venerable Thich Chuc Do, has vowed to build a new temple at 4904 Buddha Mountain Rd, Roanoke, VA 24012. This undeveloped land will require infrastructure and a 3,000 sq ft temple building. The estimated cost: $1.5 million USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We cannot do this alone. We humbly invite your support\u2014through donations or interest-free loans\u2014to help bring this vision to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Give<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checks: Payable to Buddha Mountain Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5535 Florist Rd, Roanoke, VA 24012<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zelle\/PayPal: chuaphatson@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions?
