As I'm sure you've heard before, Buddhism is much less a religion as it a philosophy or more accurately, it's a continuously ongoing practice. You don't have to identify as any kind of Buddhist to attend their services (In fact, I myself don't identify as Buddhist). The community there is very diverse in age and ethnicity, and even those that come from many other spiritual/religious backgrounds. There are a handful of different priests and priestesses who come from a variety of Zen traditions. While the temple itself is rather small in size (and most Sunday mornings, they pack a full house), it's a very relaxing and clean space for meditation and service. The ambience is calm and welcoming. And after the Sunday service and meditation, there's a tea social period (sometimes with a yummy vegetarian potluck) that I enjoy very much. There are always tons of volunteer opportunities within and outside the Temple and plenty of community engagement opportunities. I've not been attending this temple for very long, but I now try to at least make it to the Sunday morning service every week and have attended some of the other meditation lessons that they offer on other days of the week, which has proven to be very fruitful for my meditation progress. They have been a fantastic resource in that regard, but the lessons in Buddhism and engagement with serious meditation practitioners have also been extremely helpful to me. p.s. Little Buddhas are welcome too. During the 10am Sunday service, the kids are taken care of/given Buddhism lessons by one of the monks or nuns in a separate area of the Temple.
