About Us

The Maryland Buddhist Vihara stands as a monument to the noble vision as a true messenger of the Dhamma. We share the message of Buddha to realize self actualization which leads to the end of suffering and freedom.

We invite you to participate in our various programs and community centered events. On Wednesday evenings, our doors are open to the public for community meditation. On Sunday evenings we offer chanting and devotional services.

If you are interested in growing your understanding of the history, languages and cultures associated with Buddhism, we offer Pali language classes, along with Sinhala language and cultural classes.

For the youth, we provide Dhamma classes twice a month in both English and Sinhala. These take place on Sunday from 3-5pm.

Check back regularly to receive up to date information about Vihara activities.

For large groups and individual/one-one services, please call ahead so we can schedule and accommodate.
