Mission District, San Francisco, California, USA · 1993–1994
The FWBO's San Francisco Buddhist Center in the Mission District had men's and women's communities on separate floors of the same building. Sangharakshita visited in 1993 and 1994, giving a talk attended by exactly a hundred people on his second visit and dedicating the teaching room on the eve of his departure. He described the neighbourhood — predominantly Latino — as reminding him of Notting Hill.
