The primary objective of the Dharma School is to promote and spread the teachings of the Buddha and to help the students gain a better understanding of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Students learn to make the Dharma applicable and relevant in their daily lives. Dharma School classes are held every Sunday. Students also chair Sunday services throughout the year, participate in Sangha-led activities, and enjoy a campout at the end of the academic year.
The MVBT Dharma School is open to children pre-school through 12th grade. Classes are held on Sundays immediately after the 10:00 am Sunday Service from September through June. There are no dues required.
