Buddha Camp @the Lotus Dome is the brainchild of several Seattle-based SGI Buddhist members. It is in NO WAY "sponsored" by the SGI, however, the intention is to impart a bit of our experience and understanding of this wonderful Buddhist teaching of NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO to not only visitors, but also our own camp members.

With the platform of Burning Man as a template for creating a temporary community, we can impart our vision for creating a global society based on these principles, while simultaneously having a RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF FUN!! (After all, let's please not forget that we're talking about BURNING MAN, here!) :)

So, that said, here's what you can expect by camping with us:

-A bunch of SUPER COOL, talented, creative and wacky people (we freakin' ROCK), some of who will be committed (or try to be) to chanting for a set period of time every morning and possibly in the afternoon/eve. (Jury still out on that..TBD)

-NO sermonizing/"bible-beating". That's always a drag, no matter how you slice it. We respect everyone and their beliefs, and it is not our intention to cram ours down anyone's throats, unsolicited or otherwise. If you're curious about what we're doing or why, just ask us.

Anyone interested in camping or communicating with us should please post to the group. Meetings are held in Seattle and our debut year is (2007 - The Green Man.)

Hope to see you there!

Burn, baby...BURN.
