BUDDHIST MONASTERY California Tendai Mahayana Lineage of Monks
GUIDANCE, PRACTICES, AND TEACHINGS LEADING TO ENLIGHTENMENT. We invite you to consider a life of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism in the California Tendai Monastery, and we are at your service.
In Japan the Tendai Sect goes back 1200 years, while here in America we are now pioneering a site chosen for its proximity to a mountain where the ascetic walking meditation (kaihogyo) can be practiced, where a special temple could be built specifically for fire offering (goma), where waterfall purification is possible, and where meditation can be done in seclusion.
Both in this website and in the earlier websites linked below there is a wealth of information. We encourage your contact and welcome you to stay with us for a while to see if the Buddhist practice at California Tendai Monastery is what you are seeking.
Please explore the site, ask any questions, and plan your visit. We hope your experience here will be a key step in your bodhisattva path.

This event is in San Francisco on Sunday May 26 and is an informal telling of the story of Shakyamuni's quest for enlightenment from the time he left home at age 29 until he became the Buddha at age 35. His experiences are relevant to ours today. The week following this talk we will be in retreat for two weeks and thus unable to respond to peoples' comments and questions and requests until after June 19.
