Current Calendar - its chow mein time again - March 4th -  check it out!

 Thank you for visiting our Website, we welcome you to visit our Temple and share in the teachings of Amida Buddha (see below for location).  One of the most common questions we receive is "Is your Temple open for anyone that is interested in Buddhism?"  - Most definitely!  We have a resident Minister who will  welcome your questions and make you feel at ease in a religion that isn't based in the  west.  And "Yes" most of our services are in English and we do chant in English (see Navigation).   And "Yes" kids are welcome!   The other very common question is "When can I talk with someone" - please see the current events section of the web site or read our newsletter for dates and times of activity around our Temple.  We are so fortunate to have members that are willing to share their knowledge and passion.  Please join them... Study group for Shin Buddhism with "Shinrans Gospel of Pure Grace" by Alfred Bloom, Monday mornings at 10:30 at the Temple, and Transformational Buddhism, Scheduled for Thursday nights in February at 7pm.  Please note, Intro to Buddhism sessions will resume again in March (these session are very popular, please register early).
