The Buddhist Chapel (Vast Refuge Dharma Hall) is the newest addition to the Cadet Chapel. Donated in 2007, the Dharma Hall was built freestanding within the existing structure. It is made of Port Orford Cedar, a rare, fragrant wood used for temple building in Japan. The Buddha figure on the altar is Burmese. The figure of Avalokiteshvara, known as the one who hears the sounds of the world’s suffering, stands near the entry.
