Heartland Sangha is a group of American Buddhists who practice a non-dualistic, pan-sectarian Buddhism drawn from the original teachings of Gautama Buddha, Jodo Shinshu, Zen Buddhism and engaged Buddhism. We have members from several Buddhist traditions. You are invited to study and learn the Daily Dharma Practice - a non-sectarian program that can be used as part of your daily Buddhist practice. It is useful because a support structure is needed in addition to books and talks. We also publish a free email newsletter. Through the Heartland Sangha, we hope to learn how to apply Buddhism to our everyday lives, to make the world a better place for us and the people we love.

Theravada (pronounced -- more or less -- "tay-rah-VAH-dah"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the texts of the Pali Canon, or Tipitaka, which scholars generally accept as containing the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings. For many centuries, Theravada has been the predominant religion of continental Southeast Asia (Thailand, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, and Laos) and Sri Lanka; today Theravada Buddhists number over 100 million worldwide. In recent decades Theravada has begun to take root in the West.
