The Buddhist Church of Sacramento is a community that supports and nurtures the teachings of Jodo Shinshu. The community supports affiliated organizations by providing a place to meet and host programs to Sangha members. Jodo Shinshu was founded by Shinran Shonin who was a monk at Tendai temple on Mount Hiei. Shinran taught that there are various ways to reach enlightenment and explained that it is not required to follow a strict path of discipline and study. This path allows us to come into a state of existence that is free of ego and selfish desires.
First time visitors will be greeted by “Temple Greeters” to help you get settled and familiar with the place. There aren’t too many rituals that you have to be familiar with, so new joiners don't need to worry about making any mistakes. At the Temple, a discussion session is held and people are free to ask any questions after the session.
