Pure Land Teachings
The Marysville Buddhist Church is a temple within the Jodoshinshu-Hongwanji-ha (‘True Pure Land School, Denomination of the Temple of the Primal Vow ‘), popularly known as Nishi Hongwanji, headquartered in Kyoto, Japan.
Shin Buddhist World
The historical Buddha, Shakyamuni (565-486BC) taught that we live lives characterized by difficulties. These difficulties result from our inability to see things as they are. Our preferences and prejudices influence how we see and engage the world resulting in difficulties for ourselves and others.
Special Events
We host services monthly along with several special events throughout the year that support our church. The ever-popular Obon Odori is held during the summer.
