• Twelve Deeds of Shakyamuni Buddha There twelve panelsThe one we call The Buddha lived and taught in what is now Nepal and India between 600 and 500 B.C.E. He started out as Prince Siddhartha Gautama, the crown prince of the Shakya kingdom. In the years (and lifetimes) leading up to his enlightenment, he is referred to as The Bodhisattva. According to the Mahayana tradition, he actually attained enlightenment prior to showing up in our world. Since he is one of many buddhas – enlightened beings – we refer to him as Shakyamuni Buddha.c

• How to get there.  By car: Drive through the Tara School’s parking lot and go up, up, up the steep hill. When you get up the hill to the Ksitigarbha Pure Land area, turn left and stay on the paved road until you see the temple. Please drive slowly. On foot: Walk up the hill, either road. At the Ksitigarbha Pure Land, continue up the road—staying on the paved road until you get to the temple.

We aspire to inspire visitors to cultivate inner peace, gratitude, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.
