Welcome to the homepage of the International Buddhist Society!

As a registered Canadian charity, the Society manages the celebrated International Buddhist Temple in Richmond, British Columbia.

Here, the International Buddhist Society offers visitors insight into Buddhist values and beliefs, as well as details about the temple and its services to the public. We hope that this website will provide a solid platform on which a compassionate community can grow, while practicing, studying and sharing the Dharma with the world.
