I have found out that, the opera house in Sydney, is not the only interesting structure around. There is one in Mona Vale, which I have to take 45 minutes of ferry ride to Manly Wharf, 1 hour journey in a state bus to Mona Vale and another 15 minutes taxi ride to Ingleside. The temple is called the Baha'i House of Worship.
It is only one of the seven in the world. The Baha'i House of Worship is both an important focal point for the Baha'i community and a living symbol of the Baha'i teaching of the unity of religion.
The Prophet Founder, Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), taught that in the future world society, cultural diversity will be encouraged, protected and appreciated. Once racial and national prejudices have been removed, this diversity will add immensely to the quality of human existence. Inspired by the ideal of oneness of humanity at the heart of their religion, Baha'is come together to worship and carry out community and humanitarian activities in 400 localities around Australia.
Established in Australia in 1920, today's Baha'i community reflects the diversity of modern Australia.
