Our Community
We are an inclusive community and follow the principle of “come, just as you are”; we welcome all people - regardless of nationality, race, sexuality, gender or disability - you will always find a warm welcome and a safe space with our community.
HIJIRI in a digital age.
Our ministry follows the concept of ‘hijiri’ (travelling monk or nun), but as we’re primarily an online community this is more like a digital wanderer rather than a physical one. We don’t have any permanent centres or temples, as our home is the nembutsu / nienfo (our primary practice). Therefore, wherever we practise the nembutsu / nienfo - by ourselves or with others – that place is a temple or a centre at that time.
Our aim is to take Buddha Mindfulness (Nembutsu / Nianfo) to where people are. In this way we can keep our costs to a minimum and ensure that any donations that we receive contribute to supporting our ministry and social engagement projects - not the maintenance and upkeep of a building.
