Welcome Dane Baylis, Our New Minister's Assistant!
Dane F. Baylis, recently installed Minister's Assistant for the Oxnard Buddhist Temple, is originally from Boston, Massachusetts. He has lived in Oxnard and Camarillo since 1985. His wife, Michelle, spent most of her life in Ventura County.
Dane completed the Jodo Shinshu Correspondence Course recently and has agreed to continue his education and activities pursuing Tokudo in the Oxnard Buddhist Temple. He is involved with temple activities and the Dharma School. He studies the history and traditions across the spectrum of Buddhism and the Japanese language.
Recently retired from the Maintenance Department of the Ventura School District, he hopes to devote more time to Jodo Shinshu practice and the Oxnard Buddhist Temple.
