The renovation includes various spaces such as Main Lobby, Meditation hall, lecture hall, Dining hall, Conference room, library, children’s room, etc., and entails optimization of all hardware to meet the current functional needs and code requirements, such as high ceilings, comprehensive upgrades of mechanical, plumbing and electrical system and equipment, barrier-free facilities, addition of a new elevator and new landscapeping, etc.
Our Goal...
Our goal is to transform the existing church space into an environment suitable for meditation and the study of Buddhism.

Turn the Dharma Wheel
Help Build A Buddhist Monastery
The Lotus Sutra says, “If one builds stupas, temples, and statues, it is as if one is seeing countless Buddhas. One will attain supreme enlightenment, liberating countless sentient beings. ”
We are now renovating the New Buddha Jewel so that we can provide a better environment for more people who wish to come and learn. We invite all of you to support this effort and make a difference. Contributing to the building or remodeling of a monastery allows more people to learn from the Three Jewels; it benefits others and increases our merits at the same time. You are always welcome to make a free will donation.
