We accompanied Grandma and Grandpa to Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights for some Chinese New Year prayer and offerings. I’ve been here before as a child and it’s changed quite a bit over the years. The place seems very grand and well decorated and not anything like I remembered. The temple was very festively decorated for Chinese New Year and Year of the Monkey. Coming here was a first for Natalie and Tyler and it was good cultural experience for them.
It was very sunny and hot, over 90 degrees!
Grandma got everyone candles for prayer and make a wish.
Tyler wanted to give prayer with an incense with Grandma
Auntie Kitty made a donation and got all the kids some lucky coins with wish ribbons to toss onto the golden tree.
