Buddhist Temple
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit San Francisco, The Summer of Love
So, just for your information, and for the Zen minute of our tour, the orange house you see on the corner with the Tibetan prayer flags decorating the stairs, is actually the Kagyu Kunchab Buddhist temple created in 1974.
Buddhist temples are very different from churches. Prayer groups replace sermons, and on certain occasions, the Rinpoche, the Tibetan equivalent of the Catholic cardinal, comes to give lectures.
