Show Notes

A conversation between Kody Muncaster and two representatives from the international Rainbodhi LGBTQIA+ Buddhist Community: Tenzin Tseme from Rainbodhi USA and Myra Blankenship from Rainbodhi Melbourne/Naarm. Rainbodhi is a network for LGBTQIA+ Buddhists to come together in community, sharing dharma and spiritual friendship. Rainbodhi has chapters all over the world. This episode explores Rainbodhi’s work, as well as the challenges faced by trans folks in Buddhism and how we can work to create a queer engaged Buddhism that is welcoming to all. This episode is part of a series of interviews with queer folks in Buddhism and Buddhist Studies.
