Our activities

While our activities are diverse and constantly expanding, we currently offer online lectures, lectures at local offices, publication on Buddhism, as well as special training sessions for students aspiring to pass on Buddhism to others in their community.

Funeral ceremonies 

Why do people hold a funeral and/or other types of Buddhist ceremonies when someone dies? Shakyamuni Buddha taught us that Buddhism is not teachings for the dead but for the living. Through funeral ceremonies, we hope to apply ourselves to listening to Buddhism and encourage other attendees to do the same.

mind. Notwithstanding such

popular image of Buddhism, Pure Land School of Buddhism shines light on the path through which people can attain true happiness when they put the teachings into practice.
