MVBT 2025 Membership Form

MVBT 2025 Membership Form
Thank you for supporting the Mountain View Buddhist Temple through membership! We welcome people of all ages, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and races to join the Sangha (community).

To help offset the increase in our expenses, we are increasing Membership Dues 10% this year. Although we have not raised dues for the last 3 years, our expenses increased 18% in 2022 and 7% in 2023 and 2024.

Thank you for your understanding, for your continuing membership, and for your ongoing donations (of both time and money) throughout the year so that we can continue to center the Dharma in our lives together. Above all, thank you for your continued investment in the Mountain View Buddhist Temple.
