Every year we honor the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha with a ceremony in which we bathe the baby Buddha with fresh water and flowers.

Join us as several of our friends in the Dharma and members of the Buddha Eye community receive the Bodhisattva Precepts in a special ceremony.

Fusatsu is a monthly ceremony of atonement and vow renewal, coinciding with the Full Moon.

These commitments are meant to bring into focus the raw intention of our hearts and minds, and build a field of awakening at the core of the Temple and across our individual lives.

Sitting under the bodhi tree, as he saw the morning star, the Buddha proclaimed: “I, together with all beings and the great earth, awaken at this time.”

In this class, through text study, discussion, and practice, we will explore what samadhi is and how we can orient ourselves toward it through zazen.  

Join us as we study what our Buddhist Ancestors have laid forth as the basis of living an ethical life through vow. 

This term, on Wednesday evenings, our Spring practice term Head Student will be offering a special in-depth exploration of the crown of Buddhist scriptures: the Avatamsaka Sutra.

During Jukai retreat, we come together to support those individuals who have committed themselves to receiving the Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts, as well as nourish our own practices.

This year we will hold a sesshin in preparation for the ceremony.

A few weeks into Spring term programming: a chance to dive into the heart of practice.
