There is no better way to discover our Buddhist practice than by joining us for a Sunday service.
All attendees are warmly welcome, regardless of attire, to join to join us each Sunday at 10:00 AM for a peaceful and enriching Buddhist service. Come just as you are and experience a meaningful gathering rooted in the teachings of the Threefold Lotus Sutra.
Our 40-minute service begins with a group recitation of sutra excerpts, followed by the chanting of the Odaimoku — Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, expressing our devotion and refuge in the Dharma.
An inspirational reading and meditative chanting deepen our reflection, culminating in a period of silent meditation.
Following the service, a brief Dharma Talk offers insight into Buddhist teachings, after which we take a short break before entering Hoza: The Circle of Compassion—a space for heartfelt sharing, introspection, and the discovery of wisdom through collective support and guidance.
