The Venice Hongwanji Buddhist Temple (VHBT) is a Buddhist temple located in Venice, Los Angeles, California. It is affiliated with the Jodo Shinshu school of Buddhism, which is one of the largest Buddhist sects in Japan. The temple serves as a spiritual and cultural center for the local Buddhist community.

VHBT offers various religious services, teachings, and activities to its members and the broader community. These may include meditation sessions, Dharma talks, chanting practices, and celebrations of traditional Buddhist holidays and festivals.

In addition to its religious functions, VHBT often hosts cultural events, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives. These activities aim to promote understanding and appreciation of Buddhist teachings and Japanese culture among both its members and the wider public.

The temple architecture and decor typically reflect Japanese Buddhist aesthetics, with features such as a pagoda-style roof, intricate woodwork, and statues of Buddhist deities. The serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings provide a space for reflection, contemplation, and spiritual practice.
