Vista Buddhist Temple

Vista Buddhist Temple www.vbtemple.org

As North San Diego County’s center for the continued transmission of the Buddhist teachings, referred to as the Buddha-Dharma, we are dedicated to the religious and educational aspirations of Jodo Shinshu Buddhist families (Japanese Tradition but all are welcome). All events, activities, and religious gatherings are open to aspiring Buddhists, and membership in the Temple is encouraged for continu

ed attendance. We are one of 60 Jodo Shinshu Temples in the Buddhist Churches of America, each independently organized, but joined in the pursuit of the Buddha Dharma.

Obon— a time to remember, honor, and celebrate. 🏮

These memorial lanterns remind us of the loved ones who came before us—their stories, their lives, and the light they continue to leave behind.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to share in the food, festivities, and spirit of Obon with us. Thank you for helping keep these traditions, memories, and connections alive. ❤️

🚶🏽 Aug. 9 — Walking Meditation: Calling in Our Ancestors with Judy Nakatomi & Tina Donisi

💭 Aug. 16 — Buddhist Approaches to Anger, Arrogance & Accountability

🏡 Aug. 23 — Personal Practice: Sacred Space @ Home & Beyond
with Rev. Laverne Imori

🌟 And stay tuned for Aug. 30 — our Board of Directors has something fun planned to close out the festival season!

All August offerings are IN PERSON ONLY.
No regular hybrid Sunday service this month—but plenty of ways to gather in community. 💙

✨ Just As You Are ✨

Join us for a special presentation with Rev. Blake Honda as we explore the lives of the Myokonin (“Wondrous People”) of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Though often viewed as ordinary people of little status or formal education, their stories, poems, and lived experiences reveal a profound understanding of faith and gratitude.
