Amida in USA

So far it is only in Hawaii that Amida-shu has become at all firmly established, but there are now more than 75 US members on this Friends of Amida site. there is also now a USA organising committee. There are hopes, therefore, that it may be possible to generate more activity in the US generally and in some specific centres particularly.

Greetings to all
I am in Virginia Beach, VA and agree that it would be a wonderful event for AMIDA USA to move forward with groups in many areas. I am fortunate in that I have some time to devote to helping in my area and am willing to offer my service to that goal.. I offer my support to others here and am confident that our willingness will generate the wishes of all of us in practical ways...
So, The next step would be to plan a local event of some type... I am ope n to suggestions, guidance and supportive thoughts in that measure.

A pleasure to be a part of this group.
I live in Edgewood, New Mexico. Not much in the way for getting together with Buddhists here. Nearest places are in Albuquerque, in temporary facilities, at times quite inconvenient for me to attend (late PM & I have 2 small children to find a place for, as the meetings do not provide for their attendance...)
I like the you tube idea for sharing talks & such. Remote viewing on the internet, if you will. ;-)
Peace & blessings to all of you.

I would like to be a member of this group and be able to share with others in the USA. Lisa suggested that I check this group out and I am glad that I did.

I appreciate you forming this site and this group as well, Kaspalita! I'm definitely interested in forming more Pure Land Buddhist community in the US and getting people from the UK out here to give talks. I like the youtube idea as well. I look forward to being part of making things happen!

Namo Amida Bu,
Ben

Mahalo to you Kaspalita for setting up this site! I do like Lisa's suggestions regarding YouTube. It would be great to build a database of talks and discussions for everyone to see.

Lisa McCann Comment by Lisa McCann on January 29, 2009 at 6:36am
Hello! Kaspalita, thanks so much for creating this group! I have two items that I love to get feedback (and maybe some discussion) on:
1) Have any of you had a chance to see the Brazier's during their visit to the U.S.? Were any of the talks transcribed or taped?
2) What do you think of youtube as a source of communication and education? I noticed that the Northampton sangha has some talks by Dr. T. Unno up, and it might be good to use youtube (and other media) to bring us closer as a cybersanha.
In Gassho, Lisa
