Berkeley Buddhist Priory is a serene temple located in Albany, California, following the tradition of Serene Reflection Meditation, akin to Soto Zen in Japan and Ts'ao-Tung of Chan in China. Established in 1973, the Priory emphasizes meditation, moral Precepts of Buddhism, and the cultivation of compassion through selfless activity in daily life.

Operating under the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, the Priory is led by Rev. Kinrei Bassis, a Dharma heir of its founder, Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett. Offering a variety of meditation sessions, Dharma classes, and spiritual guidance, the Priory's activities are supported entirely by donations, reflecting its commitment to accessibility and community service.

Small, low key temple. All in English except for a few chants that are not readily translated. In the Soto Zen tradition but culturally American. The atmosphere is simple and un-pressured....
