Welcome to the Pasadena Buddhist Temple
Shinran Shonin, Founder of Jodo Shinshu
The Pasadena Buddhist Temple belongs to the Jodo Shinshu tradition of Buddhism. Our national organization is the Buddhist Churches of America, headquartered in San Francisco, California. Our temple was established in 1948, and incorporated in 1956. The temple and classrooms were completed in 1958. The annex (Sakai Hall), which is used by the PJAA Bruins organization to conduct basketball practices, was constructed in 1962. We celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2008. We welcome all to come and learn about the Buddha Dharma.
Rev. Gibbs has been our resident minister since January 1, 2014. We are grateful for the presence of Reverend Tetsuo Unno, who has been with us for over 40-years. He will conduct service the second Sunday of each month.
Family services are held each Sunday. Service begins at 10:00 am and is followed by a separate English speaking Discussion Group. Reverend Tetsuo Unno conducts service on the 2nd Sunday of each month. Dharma School meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month following Sunday Service. Sangha Teens and Jr. YBA meet monthly.

SAVE THE DATE!
In partnership with Keiro, Pasadena Buddhist Temple and Pasadena Japanese Cultural Institute, are in the midst of planning another Caregiver Conference to be held on Saturday, March 30, 2019 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This will be the third Caregiver Conference provided to our community through Keiro, the last two of which were well attended and very successful. There will be promotional information available in the coming weeks, but for now, the Conference includes Keynote Presentations on “Iyashi Care and Caregiving Family Dynamics” and “Managing Caregiver Stress.” There will be three breakout sessions concerning “Mobile Caregiving,” “Hands-On Caregiving” and “Preparing for In-Home Care.” A Resource Fair and individual professional consultations (by appointment only) will be included along with a hosted Bento lunch. There is no charge to attend this conference, but registration is limited and registration is required. There are registration forms available right now in the foyer of the hondo and temple office. Mail this form to Keiro, attention Bryce Ikemura at 420 East Third Street, Suite 1000, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
