The Guang Ming temple (TC: 光明寺, PY: "Guāng míng sì", loose English translation: "Bright Light Temple") in Orlando, Florida, United States is the largest Buddhist temple in Central Florida. The three story, 30,000 square feet, traditional Chinese-monastic style temple was completed in 2007 and cost approximately $5 million dollars to construct. The temple is associated with Fo Guang Shan, a monastic organization from Taiwan led by Venerable Xing Yun that claims over 1 million members worldwide, and with Hsi Lai Temple in Los Angeles. Guang Ming is home to several resident monastics, and boasts a vast main shrine room, auxiliary meditation room, vegetarian cafeteria, tea room, gift shop, and guest dormitories. The temple is open daily from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm, and weekly events are held in Chinese as well as English.
