Temple Buddhist Center

In 2005 four of Kansas City's most influential spiritual leaders came together to found a center dedicated to the practice of Western style Buddhism, a blend of Eastern philosophy and Western psychology. Ben Worth, Vern Barnett, Duke Tufty and Robert Brumet founded, the Temple Buddhist Center. This new and exciting form of spirituality is dynamic, inclusive, active, and focuses on core Buddhist insights, mindfulness, meditation and their practical application in our daily life. The goal of TBC isn’t to get everyone to agree on ONE LINEAGE or PHILOSOPHY. Rather it’s on cultivating a SHARED EXPERIENCE of Mindfulness, Oneness, and LOVE. Whether we are chanting, meditating, or sharing from the heart, we respect that you’ll participate only at the level that feels comfortable FOR YOU.
