We are very fortunate here in Southern California to have strong access to the dharma and the sangha of all Buddhist traditions. Still, many who are new to Buddhism or new to Los Angeles don't know where to begin. Below is a list of temples or centers close to the UCLA campus. If you visit a temple not on the list, please contact us to let us know.
