There is a rich variety of Buddhist organizations in and around Victoria, BC. The Victoria Zen Centre maintains a list of organizations that you might find useful. If you are affiliated with an organization that is not listed here and would like to be listed, please send us your information and we'll add you to the list.
The organizations listed here are not affliated with the Victoria Zen Centre and are listed here as a community service. We believe that individuals should be able to find and practice with a group that fits their lifestyle and needs and provide a list of places that people can get engaged with their Buddhist practice.
