Our Dharma hall is at 4900 16th St NW, Washington D.C. hosted by the Nipponzan Miyohoji Buddhist Order inside their DC dojo temple, at the northern corner of Blagden Ave and 16th St NW.

We regret the 100-year old residential building is not wheelchair accessible. A few stair steps are at the entrance and to access bathrooms on the ground floor. Both bathrooms are single-user all-gender.
