🛕 Day Trip: Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden

We invite you to visit one of the largest Buddhist complexes in Ontario and spend a day surrounded by tranquility, beautiful nature, and Eastern culture.
The complex is home to beautifully decorated prayer halls, impressive statues and stupas, prayer wheels, and a magnificent golden Buddha statue. The grounds are extensive, with enough to explore for around 4 hours.

The program includes:
✨ a guided tour of the complex;
🧘 meditation;
🥗 a vegetarian lunch;
📸 time to explore the grounds and take beautiful photos.

There is also a restaurant, a café where you can buy tea, ice cream, and other treats, as well as souvenir shops. Tea ceremonies and sound meditation sessions may also be available on-site.
This is a great opportunity to learn about Buddhist traditions, discover the history of the complex, and spend a peaceful day surrounded by nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
