Temple of Original Simplicity[edit]
The temple houses a wide collection of Taoist Deities, as well as, perhaps, the only Hall of Fox Immortals (Chinese: Huxian, Japanese:kitsune, Korean: kumiho) in the United States.
The temple offers traditional Taoist teachings including the philosophical teachings of the Tao Te Ching, meditation, Qi Gong, as well as the esoteric disciplines of The Fox Creed.
