Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism
For more than 35 years, Myoshinji Temple has served the San Francisco Bay Area as a place to practice and study the teachings of true Buddhism. The temple is open 365 days a year and ceremonies are conducted throughout the year, along with introductory events and open houses for new guests. If you’ve been interested in Buddhism, this is a wonderful place to start.
