An impressive Buddhist temple is rising on the city's east side. To the Rev. Buu Duc, the Vietnamese-born abbot of the Huong Dao Temple and Monastery, it's an improbable dream come true.
"My only goal when I came here 10 years ago was to share my Buddhist knowledge," said Duc, 53. "I didn't want to build a big temple. But the committee said, 'Go now.'"
The columned temple, which will cost about $900,000, stands out in a low-income area in the 4700 block of East Rosedale Street. It is being built with individual donations and funds raised by a relatively small Buddhist congregation, just over 100 regular members.
