By first supporting the local community, Awaken Portland provides a bridge between practitioner, the spiritual seeker, and the places where we come together; the temple, practice center, work, or the internet. Our center downtown or our web presence aims to provide an easily accessible resource for all Portland Buddhist groups.
Our innovative webcast programs provide an entertaining glimpse of what occurred recently and what to expect when you go to a local event or class. We present, interview and discuss with various teachers and practitioners, go to their centers, express their dhamma (Pali)/dharma (Sanskrit) and document for the world-wide web audience what Portland has to offer this realm.
We also provide full monastic support ; the four requisites food, clothing, shelter, medicine, and spiritual services to the Buddhist community, including meditation classes and resources, retreat guidance, counseling, ceremonies, refuges and precepts.
Please inquire for how we/you can help in this mission.
