Introduction

Dharma Treasury Study Center is a non-profit religious study center established in 2002. We follow in the footsteps of the Traditional Buddhism; our credo is to study the Buddha's teachings, cultivate our inner selves in order to pervasively teach others.

 

  Bamboo Grove Vihara was established as a training ground for monks and nuns to cultivate and steep themselves in the profound teachings of the Buddha and to nurture outstanding clerics and talented scholars. Also established in order to lead Buddhist  practitioners in mutual cultivation and study.

We offer the following programs: meditation, Buddhist Studies classes, and other charitable activities.

 

The Study Center was established on the premise of diligently cultivating virtue, extensively propagating the Buddha Dharma, rectifying the human mind, and benefiting living beings. We model ourselves on the altruistic vows and great spirit of the Bodhisattva path, to develop our wisdom, immerge ourselves in the service of society and engage in the humanism of Buddhism based on true principles and human aptitude.
