Welcome to the Gardena Buddhist Church
Thank you everyone for visiting our virtual temple through our website and for all the wonderful comments and feedback we have received for our Dharma messages both in text and video.
We are happy to announce that we now offer live-stream Sunday services! Please visit Live Stream Service for details and sign up to attend. Because we are now offering our live-stream service as well as our Megumi temple newsletter online, we will no longer be posting our weekly Dharma essays. We will continue to post our video messages, but they will now be a recording of our live-stream messages. Because of this, there will be a slight delay on Sunday before they are posted.
Thank you once again to everyone for continuing to support our temple and our activities. Please be safe, stay healthy, and let's keep connected in the Dharma.
– REV. JOHN IWOHARA
