Whether you are facing great or small challenges, there is a well-known place in the California Bay Area that can bring hope, happiness, light, and guidance in life—the Oakland Temple.
加州灣區的奧克蘭聖殿佔地總面積為18英畝,於1964年11月17日開始正式運營。奧克蘭聖殿在全球領先的旅遊網站,貓途鷹(TripAdvisor)上得高評,在各方面都排名第一,包括熱門景點、景點與地標、自然與公園和旅行者最愛。在所發表的評論中最常提到的是 “平安” 和 “美麗”。其中有一位旅客寫道 “特別是在了解聖殿的意義後… 會感到平安.”
There are three major buildings on the Oakland Temple site: the temple, the church center, and the visitors’ center.

聖殿
The temple stands at the southernmost part of the Temple Hill campus and is one of the most important buildings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Latter-day Saints believe that the temple is the House of the Lord. Throughout history, the Lord commanded His people to build temples for sacred purposes, such as Moses’ Tabernacle, or King Solomon’s Temple. As in ancient times, the Lord continues to command His people to build temples in modern times. There are currently 167 temples operating around the world, with more under construction.
耶穌基督後期聖徒教會連續不斷地建立聖殿的原因是為了讓世界各地的人都有機會享有來自聖殿的祝福。後期聖徒相信透過耶穌基督的贖罪,若在聖殿中進行各種神聖儀式,與神立約,並且堅持遵守承諾,可帶來許多永恆的祝福,包括永遠與神同住,與家人永遠在一起。
其次,聖殿也是聖徒的一個安全的避風港。在這個動盪不安的時代及社會中,許許多多的挑戰有時會使人筋疲力盡,甚至失去對生活的希望、動力或信心,此時聖殿就是醫治聖徒心靈、靈魂和接受個人啟示的地方,讓他們再次充滿力量和靈感,勇敢地面對世上所有的事情。聖殿更是一個學習的地方,聖徒可以更了解神給世人的幸福計畫和益於他們靈魂福祉的事。
Once dedicated, entrance inside a temple is reserved for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have committed to living the gospel of Jesus Christ and is ready to participate in further sacred ordinances. Any Church member who obeys the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ can obtain a recommendation card from their local Church leader certifying that they are prepared to enter the temple.

教會中心
To the east of the Oakland Temple site is the church center, covering an area of 8,500 square feet, with a 1,639-seat auditorium, a standard-size basketball court, the main chapel with 4,000 pipe organ, a baptistry, 170 rooms of different sizes, and two kitchens. This is a place where people gather together for Sunday worship services. Due to the diversity of ethnic cultures in the Bay Area, Sunday Church meetings are held in various languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, Tongan, and Cambodian ((查看聚會時間和地點)). All members and non-members are welcome to attend. The church center also hosts service projects, musical performances, and events. With all these activities, the ultimate goal is to help devout Church members and non-members alike grow closer to Jesus Christ and to prepare to enjoy the blessings of the temple.

訪客中心
The Visitors’ Center is located on the west of the temple site. The interior is equipped with an 11-foot statue of the resurrected Christ, portraits, movies, models, and other exhibits to help visitors better understand Jesus Christ, the temple, and the beliefs of the Church. Those who serve inside the Visitors’ Center are friendly volunteers who provide free guided tours and answer questions.
訪客中心樓下還有一個家庭搜索圖書館免費提供給所有訪客,內部的書籍、電子版資料、技術設備、傳教士提供的線上家庭歷史導覽以及家庭歷史專家提供的個性化服務可以幫助人們搜索家庭歷史、建立譜系並為後代保留現有的回憶。家庭對於後期聖徒來說十分重要,他們相信神的愛超越每一代,所以祂為每一個來過世上的人提供了一條道路來得到聖殿的祝福,即永遠與神和家人在一起,獲得完全的幸福,變得像耶穌基督一樣。後期聖徒努力不懈地研究家譜,為的是找出他們的祖先,好讓他們在聖殿里代替已世的祖先完成聖殿儀式,若這些祖先願意接受並跟隨耶穌基督,聖殿的祝福也屬於他們。世世代代可以此方法連接在一起,成為一個永恆的大家庭,共同享樂。 https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Oakland_California_FamilySearch_Library 或者致電(510)531-3905

聖殿花園
Whichever building you are visiting, you will walk through the beautiful and charming temple grounds. Throughout the year, there are a variety of beautiful flowers. There are also tall palm trees lining both sides. Through the center of the garden are sparkling fountains and connecting water features, symbolizing the living water given by Jesus Christ to the world. Many people like to stroll, walk their dogs, or relax on the quiet paths. Directly in front of the temple is a calm reflection pool. The water in the pool comes from the grand waterfall on the front wall of the temple. On either side of the waterfall are stairs that lead up to the eye-opening roof garden, with a 360-degree view around the temple, and a panoramic view of the Bay Area, including San Francisco, the city of Oakland, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the coast. In the evening, the temple grounds offer a magnificent view of the sunset overlooking the bay.
After the completion of each temple, and before the official operation begins, Church leaders will offer a prayer, dedicating the temple grounds to the Lord. The dedicatory prayer for the Oakland Temple, offered by President David McKay in 1964. In his prayer, he stated; “The square where we dedicated the temple and the surrounding walls, flower beds, trees, potted plants, flowers and growing in the soil, the bushes; let them bloom, bloom, and become extremely beautiful and fragrant; let your spirit dwell in it, and let this land be a resting and peaceful place for people to meditate and be full of inspiration.”
Life is indeed unpredictable, sometimes full of happiness and joy, sometimes full of anger and sorrow, but God’s love for us remains unchanged forever. When we are happy, He is happy for us. When we encounter challenges, feelings of anger, fear, or pain, He does His best to support and comfort us. He brings us a sense of security and helps us gain confidence. Any who come to the California Oakland Temple, including residents and tourists, will experience this feeling of peace. That is why it is often called the “Beacon to the Bay.” It is the light that shines at night, not only in the Bay Area, but also in the darkness of life, which indeed brings us hope and happiness, and light and guidance in life.
