Over the years, the Temple’s directors, staff, worshippers and supporters have always adhered to Grand Master Song Da Feng’s Principle of Charitable Deeds, for a Charitable Temple , and continuously and actively supported various charitable activities.

Since the establishment of the Temple, all members have generously supported the victims and casualties of natural disasters, wars, accidents, plague, fire disasters, floods and all kinds of distress; as this is our belief in the teaching of Happiness from Charitable, Compassionate and Courageous Acts. In the promotion of this teaching TPSTST continuously contributes to charitable deeds to our society and also shares with all the precious values of Kindness, Sincerity, and Goodness thereby propagating our Temple’s tradition, heritage and culture!
