Fo Guang Shan Hsiang Yun Temple is located on the scenic Capital
of Texas Highway. The temple is on an 11-acre lot with approximately 20,000
aquare feet indoor area. Xiang Yun Temple is surrounded by rolling hills that
are covered by cedars. Cedars are ever green with very nice smells. The temple
is often submerged in cloud-like fog. Therefore, the temple was named Hsiang
(fragrance) Yun (cloud). The name also takes the meaning of the clouds above the
Buddhas and Boddhisattvas when their presences were honored.
