We are excited to share that the New Jersey Buddhist Vihara & Meditation Center is nearing completion — 95% of the new building project is now done, thanks to a major donation from the Roshan Wijerama Family Foundation, temple bank loan, and your generous contributions.
To obtain the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) and begin using the new building, we must complete the paving of the access road and sidewalks, which requires an additional $250,000.
To meet this goal, we have launched our “Help Us Pave the Way” campaign, inviting donors to sponsor a parking space for $2,500 each (or donate any amount).
Your donation will be matched 1:1 by our Principal Sponsor, doubling your impact.
Cash or Stock donations are welcome, and all contributions are tax-deductible under section 501(c)(3).

Your contribution will help us complete this final step before winter and open our doors for regular meditation, Dhamma programs, and community gatherings.
