Theravada in Olympia
Our mission is to understand and follow the Buddha’s original teachings, without cultural influences or that of other schools of Buddhism.
In the meantime, please read
“Being Nobody, Going Nowhere” by Ayya Kema
This book is a staple of western Buddhism. It contains the main teachings of the Buddha. Ayya’s biography: https://leighb.com/a_khema.htm. The book is available on Amazon. A free PDF is here: http://www.bps.lk.
Ayya Kema was one of the first, if not the first, western woman to ordain as a Buddhist bhikkhuni (educated nun). She went on to found monasteries, and eventually returned to her native Germany. She is well known in the Buddhist world, as are her 25 books.
