Welcome

Current Calendar

 Thank you for visiting our Website, we welcome you to visit our Temple and share in the teachings of Amida Buddha (see 'contact us' 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 questions are "When can I talk with someone" and "Meditation?" - please see the current events section of the web site or read our newsletter for dates and times of activity around our Temple.  

We encourage you to contact us, should you have any further questions about our religion, Temple activities or wish to be included in our distribution list for our free monthly newsletter.   Please check the  Current Links , where you will find articles and information of further interest if you are new to Buddhism and looking for information about Jodo Shinshu Buddhism.   One day let us welcome you as a member of our Temple.
