Our approach to Shin Buddhist teachings is highly accessible and easy to follow, making them available to everyone. Since our establishment in 2001, we have become one of Connecticut’s most established and revered Buddhist organizations. With the vision and guidance of our founding teacher, **Rev. Daishin Senpai M.A.**, we offer a full array of spiritual activities, including regular monthly meetings, courses, and retreats.
