Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Relief

Many temple members and friends have been asking how they can help the victims of the disaster in Japan.  We will post information on this page for those who wish to help.

For the next several weeks at our Sunday service we will be sending around collection baskets and sending those donations directly to the Sendai Betsuin.  The public is welcome to attend our services on Sundays at 10:00 AM and make a donation.  All donations to the fund will be used to send relief through the Buddhist Temple in Japan to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami.  Donations can be sent to the temple at 1155 Noche Buena Street, Seaside, CA  93955.  Checks can be made out to the Monterey Buddhist Temple with a note: "Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund". 

If you have questions please call (831) 531-0119 or email us at montereydec@gmail.com

 Thank you for your Dana.
