Overview
Rainbodhi Singapore is a spiritual friendship group dedicated to fostering mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom within the LGBTQIA+ community and beyond. Rooted in the teachings of the Buddha, we create a safe and supportive space for meditation, Dhamma discussions, and social connection, embracing the diversity of all beings. Everyone is welcome—regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability, or spiritual background.
Our name, Rainbodhi, reflects our commitment to harmony and awakening: the rainbow symbolizes the beautiful diversity of our community, while bodhi represents the path to enlightenment and the realization of our interconnectedness. Guided by the principles of loving-kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), and inclusivity, we strive to nurture a sense of belonging and understanding within the broader Buddhist community and society at large.
Whether you come from a Buddhist tradition, another faith, or no faith at all, you are welcome here. Together, we walk the path of awakening, celebrating the unique light within each individual.
At Rainbodhi Singapore, we embrace a non-sectarian approach, welcoming the diverse teachings and traditions within Buddhism without aligning exclusively with any particular school. We believe, as expressed by Rongzom Chokyi Zangpo, that all paths within the Dharma share a common essence—each guiding us toward truth and liberation. While the vehicles may differ in expression and emphasis, they do not contradict but rather complement one another, deepening our collective understanding without dismissing the foundations of any. This spirit of unity in diversity shapes our community and our commitment to inclusivity.
