Serving the community for 75 years
We are a Buddhist Temple of the Pure Land School in Los Angeles known as the Jodoshu Buddhist temple. We have served a predominantly Japanese-American community for nearly seventy-five years.
Recently we have been receiving requests from non-Buddhists who wish to observe benchmarks in their lives by the offering of Buddhist services and have decided to make available our different prayer services for the following:
1)House blessing
2)Wedding
3)Memorial days
4)Funeral rites
5)Graveside prayers
Request from the non-Buddhist and non-Japanese community will be honored.
If there are interested clients, please feel free to contact us.
