The Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple of New Zealand is a temple and community centre of the Fo Guang Shan Chinese Buddhist movement in the East Tāmaki/Flat Bush suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. The temple and complex were built over seven years. It was designed in the architectural style of the Tang dynasty. The temple also includes a large Buddha statue and a two-tonne bell.
Opened in late 2007, the mission of the new temple is to promote Humanistic Buddhism. But it is also intended open to non-Buddhists, "through education and teaching people how to lead good lives." The temple had provided community courses such as Chinese School, Children Dharma Class, Meditation Class, as well as providing a venue for talks and meetings.
In Early Jan 2024 onward every Saturday 1030am temple having the English Dharma Services.
