“Make of yourself a light. Rely upon yourself, do not depend upon anyone else. Make my teachings your light. Rely on them, do not depend upon any other teaching. ”

Welcome to the Buddhist Research Center of the West

Come with a question and leave without any doubt. 

Buddha Gautama 's Wisdom  was broad like the ocean and He was the embodiment of Compassion. The research is primarily concerned  with the essence of the Buddha's teachings that were recorded in excess of five (5) thousand volumes, preserved and handled down to generations through more than 2,600 long years, over and beyond the borders of India and the racial barriers of the world.
