The Women’s Buddhist Association (WBA), formerly known as the Fujinkai, is an organization which welcomes women of all ages and from all walks of life and reflects a broad range of talents, ideas, and energy.
The WBA supports the temple through its activities, such as the Spring Food Bazaar and the temple Summer Bazaar.
