Ceremonial Services

We offer a variety of ceremonial services to support the spiritual needs of our community. These ceremonies provide meaningful opportunities to mark life’s significant moments, and by participating, you also help sustain our temple’s operations and mission. Below are the services we provide:

Buddhist Conversion Ceremonies

For those who feel drawn to the teachings of the Buddha and wish to formally embrace the Buddhist path, we offer conversion ceremonies. These ceremonies are deeply meaningful rites of passage in which individuals publicly commit to living in accordance with Buddhist principles of compassion, mindfulness, and non-harming.

  • Taking Refuge: Participants take refuge in the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma (teachings), and the Sangha (community).
  • Precepts: Those undergoing the ceremony may choose to take one or more of the Five Precepts, which are guidelines for ethical living.
  • Chanting and Blessing: Our monks will lead the ceremony, offering prayers, blessings, and guidance for your spiritual journey.

Weddings

Buddhist weddings can be beautiful ceremonies that emphasize the spiritual union of the couple. We offer Buddhist wedding ceremonies that are a reflection of mindfulness, compassion, and unity. Our monks will officiate your ceremony, guiding you through Buddhist rituals that emphasize harmony and mutual respect. We provide the following services:

  • Ceremony Officiation: Our monks lead prayers and offer blessings for your marriage.
  • Venue Use: Our temple provides a sacred, serene space for your wedding ceremony and reception.

Funeral Services

Our temple offers a range of funeral services to provide peace and spiritual guidance during times of loss. Our Buddhist funeral rites honor the deceased and support their peaceful transition in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

  • Funeral Ceremonies: We offer complete funeral services, including chanting, prayers, and offerings.
  • Memorial Services: We perform 49-day, 100-day, and other periodic memorial services for the deceased.
  • Cremation Rites: In partnership with local cremation facilities, we offer cremation rites according to Buddhist traditions.

Blessings and House Cleansings

  • House Blessings: Receive blessings for your new home to promote harmony and well-being.
  • Business Blessings: Request blessings for your business to encourage prosperity and success.
  • Personal Milestones: Mark significant life events with a customized blessing ceremony.
