Endeavoring to share the
knowledge of the Dhamma of the Buddha, the Washington Buddhist Vihara, from it
is very inception, has supported a policy that goes beyond ethnic and cultural
boundaries. Though people of many nationalities frequent the Vihara, all regular
services are conducted in the English language. This policy has greatly aided
the introduction of Buddhism to the USA. In fact, almost one half of the
Washington Buddhist Vihara Society's membership is made up of local Americans.
As there are no language barriers, visitors and devotees who speak different languages feel quite at home at the Vihara. There is always some one to talk to.
