The headquarters of the Nishi school of Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land) in the United States. Beautiful facility with an amazing staff. Great educational resource for anyone interested in Buddhism. Their online classes and correspondence courses are excellent.

My only experience with the BCA Bookstore has been online, but every time I have ordered, service, customer care and delivery have been world class. They have a tremendous selection of books, onenju and other ritual implements, and I have no doubt i will continue to order from the BCA bookstore on a regular basis. They not only specialize in Shin, but carry books and materials relating to every denomination of Buddhism. With a friendly and sincere manager and staff, the BCA Bookstore is truly a gem, offering a wonderful selection of materials relating to the dharma.

Google got the address right, but not the activity: This is an academic institution - no martial arts here!

I am very interested in Buddhist philosophy and teachings. Entering the bookstore, I felt a very peaceful vibe. It is very clean and quiet. Soothing music plays in the background as you walk around browsing Buddhist literature and associated items. The lady at the front is very nice. She greeted me when I entered and respectfully leaves me be as I browse their selection. They have such a nice assortment of books about various types of Buddhism as well as origami books. They also have cute cards and gifts. I have not bought anything but it is a nice place to look around if you're ever curious about Buddhism.

Stocked with all of the Buddhist books you can imagine, plus more, the BCA Bookstore is the place to go for all of your Jodo Shinshu needs. They have a great variety of onenju, videos, tabi socks, obon gear, and even jewelry with the Buddhist theme. Being connected to the beautiful and clean Jodo Shinshu Center, this is a nice place to study if you would like to be someplace quiet. Little-known fact: They have some packaged Japanese food and drink in the bookstore, and tables to sit down at, almost like a cafe!

Located in the new Jodo Shinshu Center, the BCA bookstore is a very small shop with popular texts catering to education in Buddhism. There are also obutsudan equipment, ojuzu, and other religious items sold here as well. Not a large selection but you're more likely to find what you're looking for here than a normal bookstore.
