Hello, Friend!

WarriorSangha.com is a virtual community whose goal is to discover and celebrate the diversity and unity of the greater community of Air Force AD, Reserve, Guard, and DoD Civilian Buddhists.  In publishing and maintaining this website, I am committing to creating a space in which we can connect with, listen to, support, and strengthen each other as we all strive to balance our unwavering commitments to the Dharma, to our Air Force core values, and to the defense of our great nation and its citizens.  While I am very eager to hear your suggestions as to how we can best fulfill this vision, my immediate goals are as follows:

1.      To create a detailed survey for registered members to complete.  The purpose of this survey will be:

a.      To find out and share (in aggregate) with each other what our community looks like in terms of location, demographics, denominations, occupations, etc.

b.      To learn about what you, the members of this community, think on a number of issues related to being a Buddhist in the US Air Force, with an initial focus on way and the degree to which your spiritual needs are being accommodated (or not).

c.       To solicit ideas about potential ways in which we can further draw together as a spiritual and professional community, both on our website and in other ways.

2.      To create a members-only weblog (or “blog”) to serve as a place for us all to discover and communicate with each other on a wide range of issues relevant to our spiritual perspectives and our careers.

3.      To provide a list of links to a variety of useful, informative, and entertaining websites about Buddhism and Buddhists around the world.

Please join me in helping to make this vision a reality.  Drop me an e-mail at webmaster@warriorsangha.com and let me know what you think!

Gassho,

Isei
