Welcome to Jodo Shu North America, where East meets West in celebration of Amida Buddha and Pure Land Buddhism. Here is a listing of prayers and memorial services that we can officiate, either at our temple in Downtown Los Angeles, or at your home. Residents living out of state or country can also request prayers and services. We’ll conduct the service remotely and mail memorial tables to your door.

Please click here for a prayer request, or contact us via phone or email to schedule a prayer or service. Questions about our in-person or remote services? Call or email us; we are happy to provide you with details about your unique, custom service.
