Interview with us on Patheos

We believe that identity can be used to investigate, uncover, and remember our “true self” which is obscured by greed, hatred, and delusion.

  1. I enjoyed the interview. It was pretty brief, but you made very good points. Thank you for working to build a supportive transgender Sangha. I personally know how beneficent Buddhism can be to transgender growth and equanimity. I am an ordained transgender Zen Buddhist Priest in the Korean Zen lineage. I originally came to Buddhism to help figure out who I was and find a means to accept myself and, in the process, I found myself seeking to help everybody else. Long story, story – I will be looking to form a trans or trans-friendly Sangha next year in the Kansas City area. I try to keep aware of your efforts and hope to be able to lend a hand, where I can.
