Celebrate
Years
of the Jodo Shinshu Center
Dear Ministers, Temple Presidents and Dharma Friends,
It is our pleasure to invite you to share in the 10th anniversary celebration of the BCA Jodo Shinshu Center. Our
vision to establish a Jodo Shinshu educational facility, would not have been possible without your kind and generous
support. The construction of the Center brought together the Institute of Buddhist Studies (IBS), the Center for Buddhist
Education (CBE), the BCA Bookstore and the offices of Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha and Ryukoku University under one
roof with convenient access to the University of California and the Berkeley community.
The BCA Jodo Shinshu Center allows us to host programs and events focused on traditional as well as contemporary
topics for the followers of Shin and many other Buddhist traditions. Educational opportunities include graduate
courses, lectures, seminars, symposia, workshops, retreats, and dharma talks for young and old alike.
