Finally found a Sangha!
I've identified as buddhist for about 4 years now, and growing up in a family who hates everyone who isn't like they are, made it very hard to find a community and place to go to learn from someone. I felt like I wasn't learning much from just reading on the internet. I decided to go to college in a pretty diverse town and was disappointed to find that there was a club for every major religion and even a few minor ones but a Buddhist club was nowhere in sight, and the closest temple was one I couldn't walk or take a bus to. I was recently talking ro a friend about religion and they asked where the closest temple was. To my surprise I found out that someone has opened a small place for us in their home thats a 30 minute walk from campus!
TL; DR: After ~4 years of feeling lost and alone in my journey, I've finally found somewhere to go and get guidance in my journey.
