«To Promote Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, as well as to propagate the Jodo Shinshu teachings,» this beautiful center is a fantastic resource for the Buddhist Churches of America.
In addition to housing the Center for Buddhist Education, the Institute of Buddhist Studies, and the BCA bookstore, the Jodo Shinshu Center (JSC) holds many activities, sessions, and conferences. There are multiple classrooms, a gated parking lot, dorm/​hotel rooms for overnight stay, a library and kodo for services. The wonderful and helpful staff is always more than willing to help, welcoming many guests to tour the JSC and learn about Jodo Shinshu Buddhism.
I always jump at the chance to attend the conferences/​reunions/​activities at the JSC and have been to talks on Shinran Shonin, TechnoBuddha, YAC Retreat, College YBA Conference and many other events here. I have not only formed great memories and relationships with lifelong friends, but also expanded my knowledge of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism through this awesome center.
I definitely encourage anyone to drop in and check it out, keeping an eye on courses and outreach offered by the JSC.
