Become a Member

We welcome you to become an active member of the Mountain View Buddhist Temple. We welcome people of all ages, ethnicities, gender, sexual orientation, and races to join the Sangha (community).

As a member of the Mountain View Buddhist Temple Sangha, you will become a part of a supportive family, connected group of friends, vibrant Buddhist community, and place that feels like home. Your membership supports the day-to-day operations and expenses for maintaining the Temple, our programs, and services.

Members are encouraged to support the Temple through periodic financial donations and assistance with various activities including annual fundraising events. Members can determine their level of support and assistance based on their interest level and availability.

If the cost of membership is difficult for you or your family, we can help you with the cost of your membership. Please contact Reverend Mukojima at reverend@mvbuddhisttemple.org.
