Chùa Bồ Đề, also known as the Bồ Đề Buddhist Temple is a Vietnamese Buddhist temple located in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1]
The temple was established Christmas Day in 1994 after Vietnamese immigrants of the Asian American Buddhist Association of Philadelphia raised to $130,000 to purchase the abandoned Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz. It is the first Vietnamese Buddhist temple in Philadelphia.[2]
In 1995, a resident monk was murdered. The incident delayed renovations to the building until the end of 1997.[3]
