Rev. Shousei Hanayama, Resident Minister

A word from Reverend Hanayama:

We are a Buddhist Sangha in Watsonville, California. Please feel free to visit our Temple. We respect all other religions. Let's enjoy our lives in this world!

One of the most important things in this world is "HARMONY," because of the different strokes for different folks. "WA" in Japanese means harmony, circle, globe, peace, total, understanding, and so on. Also, "HARMONY" includes all of them.
According to Buddhism, there is no beginning and end in this world, like a circle. The circle is the best balanced condition on our globe.
Let's make a beautiful harmony between you and us, under the Great Amida's Vow!
