Former USAF pilot in Vietnam, Buddhist meditator, wishes to make contact with Buddhist Military Sangha, especially USAF. Please contact: jpbaker8@verizon.net
My wife and I sat with the Sangha in September 2008. We very much enjoyed the atmosphere and experience. The Sangha meeting was on a Wednesday evening and was open to the public, though not listed on the Cadet Chapel's web page as such. As of this moment, it STILL is not listed, I don't know if there have been any changes.
Hello, I'm Pete Peterson and work at the Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel as the Public Relations Director. I noticed the link to the Cadet Chapel (on the right side fo the Blog) is not current. Our updated site is located at: http://www.usafa.edu/superintendent/hc/
The current Buddhist Service Schedule is as follows:
Sunday @ 10am
Wednesday @ 6:20pm (please note visitors must have valid military ID to gain entry onto the Air Force Academy after 6pm)
Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!
