Description

Physical Description

The Quan Âm Linh-Són Temple occupies an aging building near downtown East Moline, IL. The temple is composed of a reception and office area, two meditation halls, and kitchen and restroom facilities. Services are held in the building each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. as well as on other special festival days such as the annual New Year's celebration and Bohdi Day. The present building accommodates current community needs quite well, and temple leadership has no plans to expand the center.
