Nan Tien
Nan Tien (Chinese 南天; pinyin nan tian; literally: Southern Heaven) is a Buddhist temple located in Berkeley, between metropolitan Sydney and the satellite city of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.
It is one of the branch temples of Fo Guang Shan, founded in 1965 by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, which has over 120 branches worldwide. This is the biggest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere.
Fo Guang Shan Buddhism is rooted in the Mahayana tradition which emphasises that Buddhahood is within everyone's potential reach. Fo Guang Shan followers strive to bring Buddhism into daily life and aptly term their faith "Humanistic Buddhism."
