[FIN] Liên Tâm -luostari (aik. Lootuksen sydämen temppeli) on Turun Moision kaupunginosassa sijaitseva buddhalainen luostari, joka avattiin kesällä 2013. Luostarin perusti Suomen vietnamilaisten buddhalaisten yhdyskunta, ja se on Suomen ensimmäinen buddhalainen temppeli.

Temppelin pihalle pystytettiin vuonna 2014 nelimetrinen marmoripatsas, jolla on painoa melkein kymmenen tonnia. Patsas esittää myötätunnon jumalatar Avalokiteshvaraa (vietn. Quán Th? Âm).
