BCD provides opportunities for people to learn about and practice
Buddhist spirituality and self-cultivation.

We are culturally and religiously diverse, and we welcome both Buddhists and non-Buddhists from all backgrounds. No Buddhist affiliation, experience in meditation, or ongoing commitment is required to participate in any of our activities.

Everyone is welcome!
