From the Temple's History
website:
In 1976, founder, Master Ling-Chun migrated from Hong-Kong to New York and then California. In 1980, he started Pao-Hua Temple, in a three bedroom house located in down town San Jose, California. In 1984, he bought a piece of land in San Jose, which is now 2946 McKee Road, and built two small temporary buildings, one for worship and the other for residence; while building the main hall and the rest of the temple. In 1988, after four long years of hard work from volunteers and professional construction workers, Pao-Hua Temple announced its grand opening celebration.
Nun Chi-Fa, the current Buddhist master, has managed Pao-Hua since 1999, after Master Ling-Chun's spirit left the Haba world and be with Buddha Amitaba. Nun Chi-Fa is following the path of Master Ling-Chun.
