DON'T MISS! Two Different Ways to View Anniversary Service
On Sunday, September 1, at 10 a.m., and live from the Buddhist Church of San Francisco, the Buddhist Churches of America will conduct a service commemorating the 125th anniversary of our national organization. We hope you will join us to watch at the Temple, and you may also watch from home.
AT OUR TEMPLE
Our Sangha is invited to come to the Temple so we can watch the service together in our Hondo or main hall, and offer incense before or after.
Many thanks to Rev. Laverne Shidou Imori, CMA Bill Teague, and MA Kaytee Sumida for their help, and for Audiovisual assistance, to Breven Honda.
AT HOME
BCA members and friends are welcome to log in directly to the livestream. Use this link to get to the BCA YouTube channel.
