Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple Buddhist Education and Outreach Program Our program offers classes for people interested in a wide range of subjects relating to Buddhism and in particular Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Courses will be taught by the Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple ministers and lecturers who have attained special training and deep knowledge of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. The classes are open to temple members and members of the greater community who are seeking to learn the teachings of Buddha. We have arranged the courses so that you may attend as many classes as you wish. For the Essential Buddhism course that starts on Sunday, August 1st, the registration is now open. The last day to register is August 1st. For other courses, you may register from now until one week before the classes start. Please use the attached registration form. Please contact our office at 1427 South Main Street, Seattle, WA 98144 by telephone 206-329-0800 or e-mail [email protected] for more information. Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple Seattle Buddhist Temple was established in 1901 at a rented facility on 6th Avenue South and South Main Street in Seattle. The first building was dedicated in 1908 at 1020 South Main Street. When the city’s Yesler Housing Project forced the temple building to be torn down in 1939, the temple was moved to the current location at 1427 South Main Street where a new facility was dedicated in the fall of 1941. World War II forced the temple to be shut down and the ministers and the members were all incarcerated in internment camps until 1946. As the temple members resettled after internment, activities resumed. Today, the Seattle Buddhist Temple holds weddings, funerals, religious services, educational programs, various sports and cultural activities. The popular Bon Odori Festival the temple hosts every July is based on an important religious and cultural tradition and is participated by many members of the community.
