As part of the 2014 Northwest Dharma Association Annual Report, here is a listing of our current 108 member groups.

It includes sanghas, temples, and organizations throughout the region which represent the diversity of practice within the Buddhist tradition. All the major traditions, as well as non-sectarian groups, are represented.

You can find more information about each and all of them in the Member Group Directory.

The Northwest Dharma Association is unique in North America. No other organization encompasses the variety of traditions represented by the member groups. In addition, no other regional organization publishes as professional an online newsletter as the Northwest Dharma News.

If you live in the Northwest and don’t see your sangha listed here, please talk to the teacher or leadership of the group and encourage them to join.

As a member group yours will be more accessible to people who want to learn about Buddhism in our area. In 2014, an average of 5,400 people visited the site each month.

Northwest Dharma Association provides a resource for connecting people to your sangha.
