Mission Statement
Welcome to the Buddhist Military Sangha! This is a nonpolitical and nonsectarian forum for Buddhists serving in the US Armed Forces.
-Provide a welcoming and positive forum for Buddhists currently serving or who have served in the military to communicate with and support one another. -Recognize and promote honorable military service as in accord with the Eightfold Path's Right Livelihood. -Correct misconceptions about Buddhists serving in the military. -Help Buddhists unfamiliar with the military understand the jobs of their relatives and friends who are serving or who have served, and who love and respect the military profession. -Help Buddhist Sanghas learn how to support and understand Buddhist military members, veterans, and their families. - Represent the importance of religious pluralism and diversity in today's military population, and by extension in American society. -Provide information about Buddhist Military Chaplaincy in US Armed Forces.

Buddhist materials now available at MCAS Yuma
I dropped off some Buddhist texts (Teaching of Buddha, BLP booklets), Thai amulets, and mantra players at the Station Chapel. Ask the RP on duty for assistance if you'd like one of these items.
