Sacred Spaces: Temples, Churches, and Cultural Hybridity

The final episode examines how religious and spiritual practices have adapted to American life, focusing on the architectural and cultural transformation of Asian religious spaces. We explore the phenomenon of religious hybridization, where traditional Buddhist, Hindu, and other Asian religious practices merge with Western religious elements.
