Welcome to the Pasadena Buddhist Temple Shinran Shonin, Founder of Jodo Shinshu
We are a Sangha (community) for those seeking to learn and follow the Dharma (teachings) of the Buddha. The Pasadena Buddhist Temple belongs to the Jodo Shinshu tradition of Buddhism. Shin Buddhism offers a path through the chaos of our lives and the world that embraces all and forsakes none. 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.
The Pride banner that was destroyed was made for us by our neighborhood community at the Harambee Ministries block party last summer to replace the worn flags that the Board approved back in 2020. The flag painting project was organized by Side Street Projects and and our artist-in-residence, Alan Nakagawa. Since the banner burning, other organizations and persons have offered to replace our banner. Gassho.
