Jinyin Temple

"The Poconos Buddhist Community has constructed the stunning Jinyin Temple, housing a variety of Buddhist deity statues that evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, making it an undiscovered gem worth visiting. Additionally, the temple grounds host a diverse array of animals, including peacocks of varying colors, ostriches, hens, rabbits, and guardian dogs, providing a unique and memorable experience. Adjacent to the temple lies a picturesque lake, offering breathtaking views of autumn foliage and reflecting the sky's vibrant colors. The ample free parking caters to various vehicle sizes, ensuring convenience for visitors. I am definitely looking forward to revisiting this serene place."

"Beautiful and a serene place to go. The temple volunteers are very welcoming. They give you a tour to explore the lineage and purpose linked with the temple. Sunday meditation session is worth attending."

"Whether you are looking to seek spiritual attainment or to take a dip into Chinese culture, the Jinyin Temple is a wonderful place to visit. In addition to the park area they keep animals such as peacocks, ostriches, and temple guardian dogs. There is also a lake to enjoy for picnicking or calm reflection. The interior of the temple is breathtaking to say the least. My young children love going here as do I. The people who maintain the grounds are friendly and are always open to discussing their religion. I hope you take some time out of your day to visit this sacred and interesting place, you won't regret it."

"Visited here with my family in Fall. Stunning views!! There were animals, my kids enjoyed the visit. It was opened to public, we did not schedule our visit. Probably better if we did. People were super friendly and nice. First time I felt comfortable to visit a temple. Will definitely come back again!!"
