National Council Meeting

Greetings Delegates and Guests,

The Coast District Temples of Mountain View, San Jose, Watsonville, Salinas, Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Guadalupe, warmly welcome you to the 2023 National Council Meeting.

This year’s theme is: Nembutsu – Appreciate every encounter. Our flier depicts a group of people representing different races, ethnicities, religions and genders. The group of people are linked
together representing that we are all different, connected and linked together in Amida’s Golden Chain of Love and may we endeavor to walk in his Noble Path everyday of our lives.

Though we are meeting virtually, as in Buddhism we remain linked and interconnected. Our hopes are that you find the Conference informative with information that you can take back to your temples.

We thank the BCA and the members of the Coast District organizing committee for their support and guidance in producing this Conference.

In Gassho,

Perry Yoshida & Linda Kadani
Chairpersons
