We can do so much more now that the Dharma Forward campaign is in full swing and committees are mobilized.
The mood to reach our $15 million goal is hopeful, uplifting, with a “can do” attitude. With $11.6 million already raised, Dharma Forward projects are providing growth and substance to BCA and the Institute of Buddhist Studies (IBS).
We are growing a wider network through our activities and leaning into what we do well. We are focused on areas where impact can be made now and where it will set us up for the future.
It hasn’t always been an easy road. Not because there is resistance to the idea, but because the road ahead is wide and the people we want to support are many.
BCA’s strength is in continuing to provide the physical hub of Jodo Shinshu in America, the philosophical base, and to represent Jodo Shinshu as Buddhism becomes more mainstream — such as we did at the White House this year for the Vesak celebration.
BCA also ensures that temple leadership is connected to each other and to resources for a larger sense of community. It is one of our core teachings. IBS brings academic legitimacy to the entire enterprise. Being a leader in Buddhist research, teaching, and publication allows many to hear the Nembutsu.
What is important for us to understand is the value of having what we have and striving to improve. The future is made up of choices and decisions. How does our collective future unfold?
With your generous help, we have already been able to improve facility safety, support IBS professorial chairs, create new areas of research, support sanghas through music and technology upgrades, and ensure that ministerial candidates get the financial and educational support to complete their studies. But there is 20% left to raise.
What’s left is to level access to Buddhist education, strengthen the ministerial “bench,” fulfill professorial chair endowments, and to keep the experience of “being Buddhist” one of deep learning, shared experiences and joy.
Join us as we continue to strive to deepen our bonds with your generous volunteer time, sharing your experiences with others, and monetary support.
We intend to close out this campaign at the end of the 125th celebratory year in December 2025. Bring it home! Please help us in successfully closing this campaign with a donation today or a pledge for the next 12 months.
