"FUN" Day

Instead of regular services, on June 10, 2007, Gardena Buddhist Church is having a "fun"day where all ages will enjoy games and a lunch without having to "work." There will be a short service in the Hondo at 9:30 am, and then the festivity will begin outside. Each affiliated organization has coordinated an activity, which includes a "Maze to Enlightenment" by the Adult Buddhist Association (ABA).

Starting Out

Welcome to the Gardena Buddhist Church. We are a Shin Buddhist sangha and part of the Buddhist Churches of America. We are located in the City of Gardena in California, about 14 miles south of Downtown Los Angeles.
