Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2025

The buddha house is a legacy project created to preserve and share buddhist teachings and support the vital work of traveling monks as they come to conduct dharma talks, perform blessings, and offer spiritual guidance. The buddha house also hosts meditation, chanting, and other activities that cultivate mindful living, compassion, and community connection and was created to serve all regardless of background or belief.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - Most voting board members are independent and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
