About Us
The Buddhist Church of Florin was established in its present location in 1919.  This year we are celebrating our 90th year of service to the local Sacramento community.  We are affiliated with the Buddhist Churches of America, the oldest and largest Buddhist organization in the West, and belong to the Shin or True Pure Land sect, the largest and most popular sect in Japan.

 

Our mission continues to be to share the wisdom and compassion of the Buddhist teachings and practice with the greater community.   We offer weekly religious services, lectures, Dharma study classes, meditation instruction, library, counseling, weddings, funerals and other ceremonies for special life passages, Japanese cultural classes, martial arts classes, and various social activities.  We also offer many youth activities including religious instruction (Dharma School) for children and teenagers, social activities, community service activities, outings, and a very active sports program centered around our full-size gymnasium.
