“The Buddha gave his teachings “….for the good of many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world, for the benefit, welfare and happiness of gods and humans.” – Vinaya Pitaka, Mahavagga I.11.1
Mission
The Buddhist Faith Fellowship is dedicated to sharing the Buddhist teachings of awareness, wisdom, and compassion, and to promoting spaces and communities for its practice and development in order to guide all truth-seekers to spiritual enlightenment, thereby advancing human flourishing and benefit all sentient beings in the world.
Vision
As 21st century spiritual pioneers, we envision an innovative, practical, and thriving American Buddhism that meets the religious, ethical, and psychological needs of our generation and culture through the liberating teachings of classical Buddhism – Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana- with special emphasis on Zen and Pure Land teachings – while being Informed by the discoveries of modern science and recognizing the biophysical realities of human existence, to inspire universal spiritual awakening for all.
