NALANDA INSTITUTE IS A DIVERSE contemplative learning community of people devoted to transforming their lives, supporting others in changing themselves and working together to better care for the world we share. They have a LGBTQ+ affinity group that meets monthly to provide support, deepen understanding, and embody the vital work
The purpose of this list is to keep people informed about upcoming LGBTQIA+ retreats in Plum Village centers, local queer sangha events and international online Queer Sangha meet ups.
Somos um grupo budista de escolas tradicionais voltado especificamente ao público LGBTQIA+. Nosso desejo é ser uma representação LGBTQIA+ no budismo, e ao mesmo tempo uma representação do budismo junto ao público LGBTQIA+. Formado pela integração de praticantes das tradições como Shin, Zen, Jodo, Nichiren, Vajra e Theravada o grupo visa acolher a todos por uma proposta unificada em como o budismo pode contribuir com respostas para as demandas sociais e espirituais mais urgentes desta comunidade.
The Buddhist Peace Fellowship’s purpose is to serve collective liberation through connecting Dharma to the current moment. They convene spiritually and politically engaged individuals from multiple lineages, Buddhist and otherwise, to explore practices to be in wise and compassionate relationship to ourselves, each other, and movements. Their convenings and programs are led by and lift up the voices and priorities of Black, Indigenous, heritage Buddhists, and people of color who share our commitment to ecological anti-capitalism, queer feminism, and racial justice.
Queer Dharma welcomes those who identify as LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, same gender loving, and two spirit). Each month they share in the spirit of connection, well-being, and authentic presence. Meetings consist of meditation (including instruction), brief talks by Queer-identified speakers, most of whom practice in the Zen Buddhist tradition, and discussion.
We pledge our best efforts as Jōdo Shinshū Buddhists to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ identifying people within the Sangha, their family members, and allies, in order to create conditions for everyone to safely hear the Nenbutsu teaching.
