History of Tienshin Temple

In the spiritual sense, Heavenly Tao shares the same belief as many religions such as  Christian, Catholic, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, etc. The principle of Tao is to guide and enable one to return to the origin of heaven.  The path requires practices such as sincerity, respect, humility and compassion into daily lives.

The Heavenly Tao is also commonly referred to as ‘I-Kuan Tao’ which means the truth that unifies all.

Although Heavenly Tao appears to be Asian, the cultivation is not restricted to any race, language or religion as we are spiritually the same.  The purpose of Heavenly Tao is to bring all of us closer to the spiritual essence by focusing on our true nature with all faiths.  Upon improving oneself, one can eventually change the world for a better place.

We welcome everyone from all faith to experience this enlightenment of Tao.
