About San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin
The San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin serves as a religious and cultural center and is in the heart of Japantown San Jose, one of the last 3 remaining authentic historic Japantowns in the USA. It is deeply connected with the history and development of the Japanese-American community in San Jose. The mission of the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin is to learn and to share the Jodo Shinshu understanding of the Three Treasures-Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
About the Generations Capital Campaign
Over 50 years ago, our ancestors built the Annex building of the Betsuin. The facility provided for the growing Sangha to gather and be with one another and the rest of the community, to have dances, large services and funerals, and sporting events. Today, the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin continues to serve as a gathering place to share the Buddha-dharma. Our current buildings do not meet present seismic requirements, are not accessible to persons with disabilities, and are reaching the end of the useful life for many of its systems and finishes. Seismic experts have told us that the Annex can possibly suffer catastrophic failure in a major earthquake.
Generations Capital campaign is a $10 million capital campaign project with two distinct building phases over 5 years. The first phase addresses seismic concerns with the Annex Building and represents approximately one-third of our financial target. The second phase focuses on the Education building and is expected to be fully funded by 2019. It is up to us to build a thriving Betsuin for future generations to enjoy for years to come.
