Buddhist Temple of Marin is a Jodo Shinshu sangha (or community) located in Mill Valley, CA. As a member of the Buddhist Churches of America (BCA), the temple exists to give people access to a fulfilled life grounded on something more than mere happiness or unhappiness. To help people achieve this stated mission, Buddhist Temple of Marin offers weekly Sunday services, in-person and online classes, and a variety of community events. Supervised by Rev. Kiyonobu Kuwahara, who is also supervising minister of the Berkeley Buddhist Temple, the temple is led by a team of ordained local Buddhist ministers including Rev. Elaine Donlin and Rev. Joanne Mied.

Buddhist Temple of Marin is tucked alongside Miller Avenue in the heart of Mill Valley, CA. Composed primarily of a gathering hall for the temple community, the temple’s straightforward design reflects the elegant serenity of the Pure Land way. Welcoming to people of all races, sexual orientations, and gender identities, the temple continues the culture of openness and free expression that has marked Marin County since the 1960’s. Though the temple is best reached by car, it can also be accessed via the 17 bus line, which runs from San Rafael. The temple has its own parking lot with plenty  of space. Overnight and residential programs are not available at this location.
