We're thrilled to welcome the Buddhist Temple of San Diego (BTSD) for this special performance! BTSD Taiko is an intergenerational taiko group. Several of its families have two generations of drummers. The temple practices Jodo Shinshu Buddhism and has been a place of cultural preservation for Japanese and Japanese Americans in San Diego since 1926. BTSD Taiko was originally founded in 1986, and after a hiatus, the group reconvened in 2007. BSTD Taiko has performed at numerous community events including local festivals, cultural celebrations and school and library programs. Following the performance, members of BTSD will lead a Q&A. This special event takes place outside on our Sanctuary Plaza. In the event of rain, we will move the performance inside to our Linder Hall. What is Taiko? Taiko is a traditional Japanese practice involving drumming, chanting, and choreography. The goal of BTSD Taiko’s drumming is not perfection in performance, but to put into practice mindfulness, oneness and gratitude. While drumming together, members aim to spread the dharma (teachings of Buddhism) such as interdependence and impermanence with the sangha (community).
