Puna Hongwanji Monthly Buddhism Classes in 2026
The last words of Sakyamuni Buddha were to make the teachings your guiding light and yourself the driving force. In the ups and downs of personal life, community, country, and the world, we need guidance that lights our path toward harmony, peace, compassion, mutual understanding, and truth. The Buddha’s teachings guide us through both joy and sorrow, and those who immerse themselves in them can navigate life with wisdom. Let us learn from the Buddha’s teachings to make a better place for ourselves, for others, and for all living beings and everything on this earth. Everything begins with me – let’s learn together.
