The Salt Lake Buddhist Fellowship is made up of folks from all walks of American life. We are an American Buddhist Sangha—a lay-led, all-inclusive, non-discriminating, trans-sectarian community influenced by the Pure Land Buddhist tradition and the teachings of Gyomay and Koyo Kubose.
Our Practice Leader is Rev. Christopher “Kakuyo” Ross-Leibow. We welcome an open and engaged group with all levels of experience. In our tradition, we like to say, “Come as you are…” There is no dress code and nothing you need to do but attend. The fellowship is a great place to learn about Buddhism, mindfulness, and the Way of Oneness.
Together, we explore our inner selves and the Way of Oneness as a community. We aspire to deepen our appreciation, knowledge, and experience of Mahayana Buddhist teachings and practices through readings from various Buddhist books and our rich personal experiences. We recognize the importance of “Sangha as Practice” and that it takes a sangha to awaken the Buddha within.
Our community’s tradition is inspired by Shin, Pure Land, and Zen traditions, yet we are not formally affiliated with any single one. Our sangha is trans-sectarian and learns from the whole tradition of Buddhist teachings and practices. We remain open to the entirety of world spirituality. Our gatherings include quiet sitting, voice meditation, meaningful discussions, and fellowship.
