Brief History of Buddhi Vihara

...
.........Buddhi Vihara practices Theravada Buddhism. It was founded in 1997 under the leadership of Venerable Kahanda Amarabuddhi. The temple had its humble beginnings in a small one bedroom apartment in San Jose. In 1999 Buddhi Vihara moved to its permanent location by purchasing a small house in Santa Clara. In 2004, the premises of Buddhi Vihara under went an extensive renovation process. The renovation included a 1200 square foot shrine room, separate living quarters for resident and visiting monks, and a library. The project was completed in 2005.This achievement was possible due to the generous contributions of many well wishes.

........One of the main missions of Buddhi Vihara is to maintain a peaceful and pleasant environment to carry out all Buddhist activities, specially the teaching and the practicing of Thravada Buddhism. The resident monks offer instructions in Buddhist philosophy and meditation. The monks are available as speakers to all educational and religious institutions. Instruction on Buddhism and spiritual guidance are given free of charge in the name of Dhamma. We welcome Buddhist of all denominations and friends who wish to enlighten themselves in Buddhism.
