We believe that every person has a spirit — and it is the existence of spirit that enables the law of karma to operate. Our interactions with others activate the cycle of cause and effect. Karma is not just about this lifetime; it is the result of how the spirit has accumulated impressions, emotions, and experiences over many lifetimes.
Our spirit’s journey shapes our personality, temperament, and approach to life. That is why cultivating the spirit toward awakening and enlightenment is a vital part of the human journey.
At the Divine Altar at House of Serenity we provide a sacred space where spirits are divinely guided to reunite, form spiritual bonds, and interact with higher beings. This is a sanctuary rooted in both Taoist and Buddhist wisdom — yet not bound by any religion.
We enshrine the Creator, the Seven A Priori Deities of the Creator’s Realm, and a divine vanguard who stands at the forefront of this sacred domain.

Because spirit is individual and uniquely expressed, the study of spirit transcends religious boundaries. It is not about dogma — it is about awakening.
At House of Serenity, we promote a 21st-century approach to spiritual cultivation — one that emphasizes the alignment of body, conscience, and spirit. We have no guru, no religious founder, and no affiliation with any religious organization or sect. We do not teach religious doctrines, perform ritualistic ceremonies, or promote institutional beliefs.
Instead, we offer a sanctuary of divine presence, where each person is encouraged to discover their own spiritual path — grounded, awakened, and free.
