75 years ago a few Japanese American farming families from Gardena Valley in California founded the Gardena Buddhist Church. In the years since, the Sangha has grown to over 500 families. Today, technology has enabled us to share with you the activities, thoughts and history of our Sangha as we spread the Nembutsu beyond our traditional geographical boundaries. We hope you enjoy what we have to offer.
Gardena Buddhist Church offers various religious and social activities centered around the family. While members are primarily of Japanese-American ancenstry, people of all backgrounds are welcome to join us in learning the Dharma and sharing in our community.
