To Dinh, the Sacred Ancestral Temple, is the founding temple of Hoa Hao Buddhism, standing in Phu Tan District, An Giang Province, in Vietnam's Mekong Delta. It is the religion's primary site today, the organizational and spiritual center of the state recognized Hoa Hao Buddhist Church, near founder Huynh Phu So's native village, since renamed Phu My and situated in neighbouring Thot Not District, where he first preached in 1939.

Each year on the lunar anniversary of Huynh Phu So's 1939 proclamation of the faith, To Dinh draws large crowds of Hoa Hao followers for a founding day observance, one of the largest recurring religious gatherings in the Mekong Delta and the closest thing the decentralized, monk-free tradition has to a single pilgrimage occasion. 1
