While only one percent of Americans name Buddhism as their religion, one study found that 12 percent report that Buddhist teachings or practices have influenced their spirituality. Let’s learn more about this faith tradition and meet some of our Buddhist neighbors!

Join us for a tour and discussion at Pittsburgh Buddhist Center with Bhante Pemaratana, the founder and abbot of the center and chief monk of the Ramanna Monastic Order in the United States. We’ll learn about the center’s history and and the diverse community that finds meaning and purpose there. We’ll have lots of opportunities to ask questions and to make connections with our own faiths and organizations.
