At CA and TXWith the blessings from our Heavenly Mother and the support from our Tao communities in the US, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, De-Guang temple was established in Irvine CA in October 2008 and Pu-Guang temple was established in Plano TX in November 2017 to help spread the Tao (the Way), help people find a peace of mind amid the temptations, hardships, and catastrophes of modern-day living, and provide a nourishing environment for people to meditate, study, and cultivate to grow and develop spiritually. Our One Great Tao Culture and Education Centers in Irvine CA and Plano TX have resumed normal operation mid-2022.

Our MissionWe, as disciples and members of the Tao, behave in accordance with the Great Tao (the Way) to cultivate our heart and let our True Self lead the Impermanent Self. We transform ourselves internally to become people of wisdom, compassion, and virtue and externally to be an exemplary leader. We encourage filial devotion towards our parents, affection towards our relatives, a loving disposition towards all people, and kindness towards all creatures. We revere our own elders and extend a similar reverence towards the elders of other families; we treat our own young with kindness and extend a similar kindness to the young of other families. When everyone adopts these principles and conducts accordingly, the World of Universal Harmony and Peace will be achieved.
