One Dharma. Together.
Welcome to the Buddhist Faith Fellowship of Connecticut! Our community embraces the spirit of One Dharma, blending the timeless wisdom of classic Buddhism with the inspiring heart-felt teachings of Shin Buddhism.
Rooted in the rich 2,400-year-old Pure Land tradition, we offer a nurturing environment where the treasures of awareness, understanding, and faith converge. Since 2001, our mission has been to foster an authentic, yet innovative, and practical form of American Buddhism that meets the spiritual, ethical, and psychological needs of today’s world.
By attending our programs, you become part of a compassionate, wholesome, and supportive community dedicated to personal, as well as, collective growth. Our welcoming Practice & Talk Meetings provide an easy to follow format with sitting meditation, sacred chants, insightful talks, and Q & A that is open to first-timers, as well as, to the most seasoned practitioners.
Our One Dharma approach focuses solely on cultivating the entrusting heart through grace, gratitude, and generosity and offers politics-free programs and activities that serve as mental and emotional safe spaces away from toxic ideologies and distractive propaganda.
We encourage you to explore our web site and take a look at everything we have to offer you, and of course, attend our enriching programs and activities. We are looking forward to seeing you.
In gratitude,
— Founding Teacher Rev. D. Senpai, M.A. & Dharma Teacher Ikuse
