Palo Alto Buddhist Temple Community,

Welcome back, Your dreams were your ticket out

Welcome back, To that same old place that you laughed about

Well, the names have all changed Since you hung around

But those dreams have remained And they’ve turned around

Who’d have thought they’d lead you

Back here where we need you?

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

We could always spot a friend

Welcome back

And I smile when I think how you must have been

And I know what a scene You were learnin’ in

Was there somethin’ that Made you come back again?

And what could ever lead you, Back here where we need you?

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

*Edited lyrics by John Sebastian

Thank you for your patience as we all maneuvered through this whole new world.  The Palo Alto Buddhist Temple is happy to welcome you back!

Currently, the board of directors and Koyama Sensei have announced we are fully open for all Temple Services. 

While there is no mandated negative test or vaccination requirement or limit to the number of attendees, we do ask you not attend if you’re not feeling well or have been recently exposed to Covid.  These steps are to ensure the safety of Sensei and all attendees.

Thank you and Gassho,

Chuck Dene
