Fall Festival: Aki Matsuri 2025
Dharma School is hosting its annual fall festival, Aki Matsuri, on October, 26, 2025, with a Costume Contest, Chili Cook-Off, and Fall Bake-Off!
Welcome to TSDBT
Buddhism for Everyone
Our crest is an image of wisteria blooms. Wisteria is a symbol of humility, a flower that grows down toward the earth. It represents bowing with respect as we try to see and accept each other as we are.
TSDBT provides the community with resources to learn and practice the teachings of Buddha to navigate life with self-reflection and awareness.
ATTENTION
No Online Buddhist Study Class on Wednesday, August 20, 2025
