Welcome to Seattle Koyasan Shingon Buddhist Temple
We are a local Seattle-based Japanese Buddhist Temple open to people of all walks of life.
Please join us for our guided meditation services or our Sunday Service. We are always happy greet new people, and many find tremendous benefit from practicing meditation. We offer all of our services in-person and online.
Our meditation practice has been passed down for over a thousand years through the Koyasan Shingon Lineage.
The Monday meditation is dedicated to Mandala Symphony for BLM as a practice of compassion to embrace and heal the wounds of those who struggled.

Obon Service In Person & Live Stream
Sunday, August 15th, 2021
12:00pm Noon (PST)
Obon is the time when the spirits of the deceased return to this world. Your ancestors and those who used to be close to you are looking forward to spending for a few days with you. Although normally you are too busy to contemplate on somebody already invisible, you shouldn’t forget that your life is still an ongoing collaboration with them.
Please write down names of your ancestors and beloved ones on the Obon Service Application Form, and please email it to Seattle Koyasan by Saturday, August 14th. The temple prepares toba-tablets according to your request.
1. Email completed Obon forms to: [email protected]
2. Offer donations ($5 / Ancestor) at:
We will be live-streaming the event. Please join us by installing zoom and following the link below:

These are wooden sticks upon which to write a prayer or request; they are added to the ritual fire as an important part of the celebration of compassion and the burning away of sufferings during the Goma Fire Ceremony.
