Hi! I visited your web-page as I've always been kind of interested in buddhism. At the moment I'm writing an essay about buddhism in the United States and in the Great-Britain, so I was trying to find some maps or something about how many buddhists there are in different parts of the States. No luck so far, guess I'm just gonna have to keep on looking. All the best to you all!!

I am a young buddist. Very young. But I am allready in love with the buddhist way. I thank you for everything, And hope that others that read this may send me e-mail, on everything they are learning. I would love to fellowship with others on such path. I, and my good friend, want so badly to complete our quest for peace. And to find a realization of our past existences. I also would like to learn all that anyone knows of the Tibet situation. I thank you.

peace&speed to your vehicle.

Lived at Zen Center in Ca. a couple of years ago. Currently in
Bodega Bay, Ca. Moving to Sedona, Az. in early Oct. Hope to establish
meditation center and church, as there are none there with a Buddhist
practice. Actually, it will be open to all faiths and beliefs although
my focus is towards the practice of the 4 Noble Truths, eightfold path
and pure precepts.( I try!) Peace, kindness and compassion to all beings

My first visit to the Chuang Yen Monastery was on April 1, 1999. That visit left such a powerful impression that I have returned seven times. My wife & I plan on,at least,a visit each week. We have told everyone we meet of its beauty, serenity and new found sense of awareness. THANK YOU!

I actually live in Kent, NY-aren't I lucky! Due to raising a family and working most of my time I have not had the opportunity to visit the monestary. I was enlightened a few days ago and will return with frequency. The monastery has been Kents best secret and I am glad that I can enjoy it. Please let me know of events and how I can learn more of Buddhism.

Buddhism seems to be a dying religion amongst the asian american community around where i live in new york city. I see a trend for more and more young Asian Americans to look toward Christianity. Perhaps Christianity is more appealing. Buddhism doesn't seem to reach out to the young Asian Americans like the Churches do. I would like to see more interest in Buddhism amongst my peers because I think Buddhism is a great religion. I am hoping there will be more FOBs(Friends of Buddhism) in the future generations of Asian Americans. Let's not let this great religion fall behind.

Do you think all pictures in site are too dark?

I especially liked reading the article on the Five Eyes. I felt it elucidated the Dharma very well. I'm learning Mandarin and hope someday to be able to read these sutras in the original Chinese.

Hello! I wanted to express my gratitude for the
excellent outreach and free book service of BAUS.
I look to the day when Buddhism in the west will
be integrated into our culture in our own way yet
in keeping with the great Asian lineages and the
Dharma revealed by Shakyamuni Buddha.
