The Nyingmapa Tibetan tradition is followed. Regular Sunday services are held at the Quang Minh Vietnamese Buddhist Temple, at 2 p.m. in English, and at 3 p.m. in English or Chinese, and include meditation. Tibetan is a third language that is used. Losar, the Tibetan New Year is observed, as well as Wesak, and Empowerments are performed from time to time. Tsog (offering to the Buddha) is celebrated every fourth Sunday after group practice, and short retreats are held twice a year. There is a newsletter called "Windhorse".
