I miss this place so much. During a time I truly needed it- it delivered. Blessed and thankful. 😍😘

I just called them to ask if I can talk to somebody only once in a private meeting because I have some private things that I would like to discuss based on the Buddhist perspective. The answer was that they don't do 1-to-1 meetings or therapy (notice I didn't ask for therapy but only for one meeting), that they have class where we can ask things, etc. So, if you want the kind of help I asked, they won't help you.

Wonderful place for learning Buddhist Dharma and Eightfold Path recovery. The vibe is very warm and peaceful. The sangha is kind and welcoming. There are several recovery events on their schedule. Their website is super easy to navigate. A friend brought me to one meeting a few weeks ago; now I’ve been going to two each week!

This temple offers free meditation! I dont want to call it a class because it feels like more a community and they make newcomer’s feel at home and explain meditation in a very fun and non-judgmental way. I feel much better after coming here multiple times. Very nice group of people and volunteers. Also there is a cool shop downstairs (on the other side down the hill). Worth checking out!
