An inviting temple, no pressure to join, a mix of Japanese, Japanese American and others. Supportive of the LGBTQIA communities

Loved the ambience. Te constant drone of people was horrible though. I really wanted to speak with God, but it's not offered here. The head monk said that I looked 12. I AM 19 recently divorced with three children.

gorgeous Hondo and the serman from a Minister graduate of Washington High School. Ellen Sensei is pretty well grounded in dharma ...OMG...GINZA BAZAAR...NOT TO BE MISSED....A TREASURE!

Beautiful and peaceful place. (no exclamation point, preserving the peaceful nature..)

My place to reach the Pure Land

Went to the Bon Odori Festival. Great food, music and cultural dancing.

Traditional safe place ND they help give food to ,refugues..

One-of-a-kind Buddhist Temple! Drop-in for their meditation sessions!

Cool church. They had a nice book store that was adjacent to it as well.

Why is there a prison cage ?

The Buddhist Church of San Francisco offers a serene and welcoming environment for spiritual seekers. The traditional architecture and peaceful ambiance create a conducive space for meditation and reflection. The community is friendly, and the teachings promote mindfulness and compassion. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a newcomer, the temple provides a valuable opportunity to explore and deepen your understanding of Buddhist philosophy.

Really cool friendly place
