DHARMA CENTER
As our Sangha and the community continue to grow and change, the Betsuin must plan for these needs as well as for those of our future generations. The construction of the new Dharma Center is essential to the Betsuin and the evolving needs of the community. This project is the culmination of 10 years of planning. Guiding this process was an assessment of where we began, who we are today and what improvements are needed for a strong tomorrow, while aligning our vision with our core Buddhist values. The new Dharma Center addresses the needs of our Betsuin as well as our broader community.

Together, we can work toward a hunger-free community
Nearly one-third of all Silicon Valley households do not earn enough to meet their most basic needs without public or private assistance. Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is serving a staggering, record-high 1 in 6 neighbors in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties every month — and they don’t see a future where this number will decline.
When we all come together, our community can make a significant difference. With your help, we can make certain that anyone who needs it has access to free, nutritious food.
These small donations can add up to full stomachs and smiles on faces.
