Welcome... 

Mid-America Buddhist Association's mission is to support the Buddhist community which consists of the monastic order of male and female Buddhist Monks and its lay followers in the study of Buddhism, and to promote the understanding of Buddhist teachings in the United States, especially the St. Louis, Missouri area and throughout the midwest.

MABA's spiritual objectives are to follow the Middle Path and to live in accordance with Buddhist teachings concerning morality, meditation, and wisdom. To establish in America the traditional relation between the Sangha and its lay followers, so that the latter can avail themselves of the teaching and experience of Buddhist monks and nuns.

MABA is located in Augusta, Missouri.  Augusta is about 45 minutes to an hour outside of St. Louis City traveling South West.  Please visit our directions page for more detailed directions.

We welcome you and invite you to learn the teachings that the Buddha has offered us so that you may find peace in your life.

MABA holds weekly Sunday services open to the public from 9AM-Noon central standard time. MABA also functions as a retreat center at certain times of the year.  Please visit the Events & News section for upcoming events.  Your support is always greatly appreciated.
