## Description

The President of Buddhist Churches of America (BCA) leads a brand that is deeply rooted in Shin Buddhism, which was founded in Japan almost 800 years ago. The BCA aims to make the heart of the Buddhist path accessible to everyone and has a rich history of spreading the teachings of Shinran Shonin, the founder of their tradition. During World War II, BCA faced significant challenges as Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated into concentration camps. However, the community's perseverance and deep reliance on Buddhist teachings helped them navigate this period of injustice. Today, BCA is the largest network of Buddhist temples in North America, with over 60 temples and fellowships and approximately 12,000 members. The organization also operates the Jodo Shinshu Center in Berkeley, California, which houses the Institute of Buddhist Studies and the Center for Buddhist Education. BCA welcomes all seekers and offers weekly services and events for all ages. Dharma Schools provide regular classes and activities for youths, fostering a sense of community and gratitude. Whether you're new to Buddhism or seeking to deepen your practice, BCA invites you to come and see for yourself the transformative power of the dharma in daily life.
