Buddhist Vihara Society in B.C.
The Buddhist Vihara Society in B.C. (registered as 892342775RR0001) is a Canadian nonprofit organization based in Surrey, British Columbia, dedicated to promoting Theravāda Buddhist teachings and charitable services. Established in January 1990, it operates as a registered charity under the Canadian Charities Act, providing spiritual guidance, community support, and humanitarian aid[1][3][5].
Mission and Activities
The society's vision centers on fostering spiritual growth through adherence to the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha. Key initiatives include:
- Religious practices: Weekly sermons, meditation sessions, and observance of Buddhist holidays such as the Kathina Robe Offering Ceremony[1][5].
- Educational programs: Maintaining a library with Buddhist literature, scriptures, and meditation guides to support learning[3].
- Youth engagement: Encouraging younger generations to participate in leadership roles and community activities[3].
- Humanitarian efforts: Providing disaster relief to communities globally, including earthquake victims in Nepal and flood-affected populations in Sri Lanka, as well as assisting Canadians impacted by wildfires in Fort McMurray[1][5].
Structure and Membership
The society emphasizes community involvement, requiring individuals seeking its services to become members. Activities are supported through volunteer participation and donor contributions, with specific programs like "dana" (almsgiving) requiring advance arrangements[1][5]. Leadership includes monastic guidance from Buddhist monks, who offer counseling and facilitate spiritual discussions[3].
Legacy
Over its 30-year history, the organization has served as a spiritual hub for Theravāda Buddhist practitioners in British Columbia, while extending its charitable reach to international crises and local Canadian needs[1][4].
