Portland, Oregon, is it dharma friendly?
Portland, Oregon, is it dharma friendly?
I may be moving to that area and I wondered how the area is for Mahayana buddhist temples and especially if the area is a good place for a Buddhist parent to raise a child? I would be moving blind, having never seen the area. I have an opportunity for a job transfer. Any thoughts will be appreciated, and I promise I won't take away your birthday if you have negative comments.

An analysis done in 2012 listed Portland at number 13 on the list of Most Buddhist Cities in the U.S.

That video was great!
It's looking like it may be a good move for me.

I'm on the ground here, and I'll vouch that there is a lot of Buddhist action in Portland. I hope you find the right fit for you...

Hi!
Portland is very dharma friendly. Most of the sanghas seem to be on the Northeast and Southeast side, but you'll find representation from many, many schools. I personally attend at the Oregon Buddhist Temple, a Shin gathering.
Best of luck to you! Hope to see you around.
