We invite you and your household to join Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple as members. We are a nonprofit organization that is funded largely through the donations of our members. Membership support contributes directly to the Temple and the Sangha (congregation) and is dedicated to sharing the Dharma.

The benefits of your membership include:

  • Direct support for Temple Dharma services
  • Development of Buddhist learning and practice opportunities through the Temple
  • TSDBT membership:
    • Discounted Dharma School registration fees for children (preschool-12th grade)
