Since January 2026, I [Jampa] have been studying Zen Buddhism in the Vietnamese Buddhist tradition under Venerable Thich Nu Tinh Quang. In three years, I will be one of the few openly queer Buddhist priests in the world who are living and teaching.
This (YouTube) is my first talk as part of this continued education course. I consider this important because, as the founder and organizer of the IQBCs (IQBC.org) and other queer events, it will allow me to better support the international queer Buddhist community.
