At Twin Cities Buddhist Association all are welcome. We’ve been part of the Minnesota community since 1946 when Japanese Americans, having been released from the WWII incarceration camps, settled in Minneapolis. Through their wisdom and guidance we are able to continue sharing and living the teachings of the Buddha.
We live in chaotic times. Everything going on can leave us feeling at odds with the world around us. Jodo Shinshu Buddhism offers a path and community that embraces all and forsakes none. Together our members enrich their lives and find happiness through sharing the Dharma in community. We strive to live a life full of gratitude, inter-connectedness and awakening.
“Come as you are”. Shinran Shonin
We are a fellowship within the Buddhist Churches of America.
