Gardena Buddhist Church Ichi-mi
Welcome
Ichi-Mi was established as a Gardena Buddhist Church (GBC) affiliated group in 2019. The Ichi-Mi mission statement is:
We pledge our best efforts as Jōdo Shinshū Buddhists to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ identifying people within the Sangha, their family members, and allies, in order to create conditions for everyone to safely hear the Nenbutsu teaching.
“Ichi-Mi (一味)” is a term found in Shinran Shonin’s Shoshin-Nembutsu-Ge, which is chanted daily at GBC morning services Monday through Saturday.
