BCSF 2010 Membership Drive

The benefits of joining BCSF may not be obvious at first. Consider, however, that membership could be the beginning of your journey towards a calm mind and a gentle heart. Discover these qualities in yourself amid our hectic and stressful world.

Becoming a member of BCSF is a very personal decision, one that is best made with the purposeful intention of learning from the teachings of Amida Buddha. For some, the path to a Buddhist life of gratitude comes easily and naturally. For others the path may begin with difficulty. Be assured, however, that all are welcome to come as you are.  

Sunday morning meditation begins at 9:00am.  Services are offered every Sunday morning at 9:30am, in English, and at 1:30pm in Japanese. BCSF also offers Monday evening Buddhist Education classes and Introduction to Buddhism workshops are offered every quarter.
