Open Sangha Foundation

  • Thank you for visiting Open Sangha Foundation web site. We are dedicated to the idea that there is only one Buddhism, that all the linages have just one goal and that is the moment by moment freedom form discomfort and dissatisfaction. While the teachings of the Buddha (Buddha Dhamma) was spread in Asia centuries ago by Nobles who properly understood the subtle and profound teachings. The dhamma has been spread and propagated in the west by ordinary people who did not learn it properly before they stared to teach. The Noble teaching is considered priceless as well as profound, so priceless that the tradition is that it is given out without charge. No money is required, not even the request for donations. The teachings include generosity and if the student is gaining value from the teachings they will naturally be generous back to the teacher for his love and caring for his students.
  • Linage Video with the Deli Lama visiting Bhikkhu Buddhadasa
    Many western Buddhists see the various linages and
    separate sects like Christianity has split into major
    sectarian factions, but the teachings of the Buddha
    remain unified. The distinctions are all merely
    cultural. There is Tibetan culture, but no
    Tibetan Buddhism, just Buddhism dressed up
    in Tibetan culture, same is true all over Asia.
    It is only in Western Buddhism that sectarianism is
    found. Many Zen and Tibetan monks visit Thailand
    to study and practice. Here is an example with
    the Deli Lama visiting Bhikkhu Buddhadasa in Thailand.
