It is the only gay/lesbian Buddhist group we know about in Asia. Gay Satsang A group discussion site dedicated to the moment to moment unfolding of truth, specifically as the truth intersects the lives of gay, bisexual, and questioning men from all walks of life and all areas of the world. Discussions of truth is informed by but not limited to the teachings of Adyashanti, Gangaji, Byron Katie, and Eckart Tolle. Their teachings point to the truth of who we are which is beyond everything we think we are, including sexual orientation, and is simply this moment, free of limitations, and free of suffering. Once realized who we truly are, then how does the play of this movement inform our lives as gay, bisexual and questioning men. The invitation here is for gay, bisexual and questioning men to look deeply into themselves with each other and through this interactive process support the discovery of the boundless peace and freedom that we all are. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gaysatsang/ Gay
