Dharma Bum Temple, Buddhist temple in San Diego, United States
The Dharma Bum Temple provides meditation sessions and Buddhist teachings in a repurposed Swedenborgian Church building from 1927 in San Diego.
Three individuals established the Dharma Bum Temple on New Year's Eve 2006 in downtown San Diego, near San Diego State University.
The temple operates under Taiwanese Buddhist influences while incorporating American cultural elements to make Buddhist practices approachable for local practitioners.
All meditation classes and Buddhist workshops remain free of charge, with the temple's operations sustained through voluntary donations from community members.
In 2015, the temple collaborated with San Diego State University to form Delta Beta Tau, the first Buddhist college fraternity in the United States.
