Our mission is to live a life of gratitude
in the Nembutsu & share the Dharma with others.

Our Temple was started in Salinas in 1924 by Issei (first generation) pioneers from Japan. Though today we are still enjoying the ethnic traditions the founders brought with them, we are experiencing the exciting beginnings of broadening our base to include a multi-culturalism that can enhance and deepen our understanding of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism.
