Rainbow Sangha - Brasil

,

We are a Buddhist group of traditional schools aimed specifically at the LGBTQIA+ public. Our desire is to be an LGBTQIA+ representation in Buddhism, and at the same time a representation of Buddhism among the LGBTQIA+ public. Formed by the integration of practitioners of traditions such as Shin, Zen, Jodo, Nichiren, Vajra and Theravada, the group aims to welcome everyone through a unified proposal on how Buddhism can contribute to answers to the most urgent social and spiritual demands of this community. (Based in Brazil)

Gardena Buddisht Church - Ichi-Mi

, , ,

The Gardena Buddhist Church was established in 1926 by the Japanese immigrants of the Gardena Valley in Southern California. Buddhism readily adapts itself to a new land, blending in some of the native cultures and customs into the traditional Buddhist teachings. Buddhism in America is no exception: although of Japanese origin and tradition, we have blended American culture and customs into our services and have created a uniquely American Buddhism of Japanese origin.
