All are welcome to join our next Sunday dharma service on September 6. As we transition to the autumn season it’s the ideal time to reflect on changes in our lives, including changing mindsets.

Experience the timeless wisdom of the Buddhist teachings through ritual, song, and a message from Rev. JP, who will discuss the dharma lessons he learned and how his mindset changed through attending a music festival this summer!

We’re taking a quick break this weekend and so there will be no Dharma service this Sunday. We encourage you to rest and keep cool! We’ll be back with a full service on Sunday, September 6 at 10am.

Though the faces (and fits!) may have changed, the deep love for and commitment to the sangha by our Buddhist Women’s Association (BWA) remains the same!

Formerly known as the Fujinkai, the BWA is a cornerstone of our temples in the Buddhist Churches of America. At SFV, the BWA is open to people of all genders and is a service organization that has nourished our community through scholarships for students and ministers in training, fundraisers, and of course delectable meals!

If you would like to feel the warmth of community while supporting our temple, DM us to learn how to join the BWA.

As summer comes to a close, we invite you to our final summer light service this coming Sunday at 10 am. Join Rev.

It’s a cluttered, chaotic world out there! We invite you to relax with an afternoon of exquisite music by our talented, classically trained pianist, Priscilla! The hondo will be filled with the sounds of her grand piano as she plays the music that transcends time and space. Refreshments will follow.

Priscilla is a longtime temple member and past president. Active in the gatha group, obon planning and more, she regularly attends annual intensive workshops in Vermont to sharpen her artistic talents.

🎹 Date: Saturday 9/26

The kids are heading back to school and the days are slowly starting to get shorter! That means we only have two summer light services left. Please join us tomorrow to chant the sutras together and receive the wisdom of the Dharma through a message from our sensei, Rev. Yukari. Our temple is a place to find community and clarity, so we hope to see you!
