Festival Events in United States

Palo Alto Buddhist Temple holds Sunday services as well as many events held throughout the year. Their dharma teachings are rooted in Shin Buddhism, which means "to live in the midst of an ordinary life, meaningfully and gratefully, transformed and empowered by the heart of Buddha's boundless compassion and wisdom." Affiliated organizations include a choir, a Buddhist Women's Association, Taiko drumming and the Dharma School for children, which teaches the Jodo Shinshu teachings to students from preschool to high school.
