“The Buddha gave his teaching for the good of many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world…Make known your way of life”.
Our mission as a Buddhist outreach organization is to broaden the scope of the Dharma—the Buddhist teachings—on both personal and collective levels, embodying and sharing its wisdom and values with the entire world.
As 21st-century spiritual pioneers, we seek to cultivate an authentic, yet innovative, and flourishing American Buddhism. While firmly rooted in its traditional ethos, our approach seeks to address the religious, ethical, and psychological needs of our generation and culture. We do this through the blending of classical Buddhism – Theravada and Mahayana – with the heart-felt teachings of Shin Buddhism, and the discoveries of modern science and the biophysical reality of human existence.
Recognizing that each person’s awakening unfolds uniquely, our fellowship provides practical guidance for integrating the Buddhist path into the complexities of contemporary life, standing as both refuge and catalyst where ancient wisdom meets modern experience. We walk alongside each seeker as they discover how the Dharma speaks to their own journey, held by the infinite grace of Boundless Life and Light.
