The majority of BCA temples are in California, although there are other temples and "howakai" ("Jodo Shinshu Dharma Associations") in Washington, Idaho/Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. The BCA is administratively and regionally divided into eight districts: San Francisco Bay, Northern California, Coast, Southern, Central California, Mountain States, Eastern, and Northwest. Each district may sponsor its own yearly conferences, lectures, and social and religious events. The BCA also publishes a bilingual monthly newspaper, "Wheel of Dharma".
