As when there are timely rains and all trees and grass receive moisture and thrive, so all sentient beings derive benefits and grow by themselves. There are different methods, but they all spring from the same source. -- Master Han Shan

Many different resources are available for the study and practice of Buddhism in the greater Portland area alone. This site is intended to help those searching for a Way place, a Bodhimandala, they can call their own. If only one person by virtue of this site can find the resources to help him or her on their Way, its purpose has been fulfilled.
