Tan-I Temple, Miami, Floria
Origin of Tan-I Temple
Temple-Host Sophy Jianglin and her husband, Mr. Lambardi, residing in Miami, have been spreading Tao in Florida for more than ?? decades. Numerous gathering are hosted in her home-based Temple. Sr. Master Lee, Temple Host Jean, and other staffs regularly flew to Florida once a month for Tao ceremony and greeting for all Tao members.
緣起: 天信佛堂在佛州有壇主姜林靜江,修辦道中發心發願, 因有道親度人在Miami要求道, 所以壇主長期租教堂辦道和班期研究,。後學覺得沒自己佛堂,
似乎難凝聚道親和培養人才,而興起想買小教堂, 請示 前人准許,找了一年, 教堂都很貴, 不是天信佛堂可以承担的,而退求其次買House。 經過李峰嘉點傳師努力尋覓, 找到好的房屋仲介, 才找到目前這间10751 SW 38Th Miami FL33165, 佔地1萬多尺, 室內2,200尺, 離机場30分鐘的市中心,用來小小經營聯繫道親是夠用的。 結語: 感謝 天恩師德. 祖師鴻慈. 師尊師母大恩大德. 前人大德德澤, 道親很高興有固定参班的地方, 學習禮節, 心靈講座, 有叩首的地方,有定期教烹飪, 推廣彌勒祖師慈悲三昧, 此後對後學們的責任也更重了。 |
There are many Tao members further located on other side of Miami, approximately 4 hours of driving distance. Temple-Host Sophy Jianglin miraculously manages to host events on regular basis between her home and taking care the Tao members who are far away. Renting prayer Halls from other churches away from hometown became a must. Driving long distance to conduct Tao ceremonies and/or class was a norm for many years for Temple-Host Sophy Jianglin.

Spreading Tao was not an easy task. In addition, to arrange meeting places for bridging all members required a lot of effort, devotion, and time. The meeting locations, often were prayer halls inside of church, were by reservation and availability. She, however, managed all well. For heading each prayer Hall meeting, alters, cushions, light oils, incenses, candles, cooking spices, and food ingredients were must-carry items in the rear seats and trucks. Each meeting location would vary due to availability, not even mentioning the rental fee had gone up over the years.
The most challenging task of all was to have a same location where all members can gather to learn about Tao and practice ritual on regular basis.
It was decided in 2015 finding a fixed place would be a must to help Temple-Host Sophy Jianglin to continue her Tao affair in Miami, FL. On 11/08/2015, a holy temple, non-profit organization, was established at: 10751 SW 38th St, Miami, FL 33165. Sr. Master Lee, Jr. Master Lee, and other staffs attended this initial established ceremony.
In Jan 2016, during Sr. Master Lee's trip back to Taiwan, she learned Elder Lin bestowed a name to this holy temple as "Tan-I Temple" (pronounce as Tan-eye). Tan-I literately means Heavenly Love.
Tan-I Temple is a branch of Tanshen Temple 天信佛堂 (Bao Guan Jan Der). Jr. Master Lee is currently overseeing this location for Tao Ceremonies and classes.
