Hollywood Buddhist Church
Hollywood Buddhist Church (HBC) is a branch temple of Los Angeles Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple. HBC and LAHHBT follow the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist tradition. In "normal times," HBC has services about eight times per year, commemorating special Buddhist events. Likewise, LAHHBT holds weekly services and also offers an array of Buddhist education and study classes.
Hollywood Buddhist Church was founded in 1915 by first generation Japanese immigrants (Issei) residing in the Hollywood area. Originally referred to as "Hara-san No Bukkyokai" or Hara's Buddhist Affiliation named in tribute of its most influential leader, Seiji Hara.
From its beginning, HBC has been supported by Los Angeles Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple (LAHHBT) in the Little Tokyo area of Los Angeles. HBC eventually moved to its current location at 3929 Middlebury St. in the Virgil area where a concentration of Japanese families settled. The building known as the Hollywood Gakuen (Japanese Language School) was constructed by Issei pioneers and completed in November 1936.
With the mass evacuation of Japanese and Japanese Americans during WWII the building was used by the LA Board of Education until the Gakuen reopened in 1952 and HBC reopened in 1954.
