Meeting every being with kindness, and letting that kindness shape what we do.

Community
A sangha where newcomers and elders sit side by side.
Service
Turning practice outward — in generosity, care, and the dedication of merit.
02 — COMMON QUESTIONS
Do I need to be Buddhist to visit?
Not at all. Everyone is welcome, whatever your background or beliefs. Come exactly as you are.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, modest clothing is best. There is no dress code — simply dress respectfully.
Do I need to register or pay to attend?
Most daily practices and visits are free and open. Some ceremonies ask for registration — see the ceremonies page for details.
Can I come if I've never meditated before?
Yes. We're glad to guide first-time visitors; no experience is required to begin.
