As we ring in the transition from 2024 to 2025, I want to express my deep gratitude for the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. The temple is such a peaceful space and I feel so lucky that I get to spend time here every week listening, seeing, and feeling the Dharma. Thank you for everyone who was able to attend and vote in the General Membership meeting. Thank you to our new and returning board members. Thank you for the volunteers and friends of the temple that have given so much to keep this space available to share the Dharma with SLO County.

I look ahead to 2025 with a sense of optimism for our temple. Ring in the New Year at our Joya-e service December 31st. Save the date for our Crab Feed on January 18th and get your tickets ASAP before we sell out.


The Sangha is made up of many individuals with their own perspectives, experiences, and expertise. If you want to share your knowledge with or have ideas for activities for the Sangha, speak up. I look forward to spending the next year with you all. Namu Amida Butsu.

In Gassho,
