Where is the most common venue of Buddhist marriage. What the traditions of a Buddhist marriage are and who first practised them. What are the duties of man and wife in a marriage. Are there any other sources of information available to me But of cause any other information would be very much appreciated. Josh Hello

Upon moving to Ireland I would be looking for the least respectable nearby pub, not the most respectable Buddhist temple. I do hope you find something works out for you there. Even if not, there is always the web. Your a dedicated man, Gerald. Upon moving to Ireland I would be looking for the least respectable nearby pub, not the most respectable Buddhist temple.

I could end up making a mess of things. Tornado: My definition of controversy is just groups with a cult-like reputation, or a group with aggressive tactics. I won't name names though, as I don't want to draw more fire. ;) Jersey: We’ll see how that goes. I could end up making a mess of things.

I am currently reading a book about Shinshu Buddhism during medieval Japan and I have to say that is book is probably the best one I have read yet in terms of clearly explaining Shinshu Buddhism. So much so that I will probably read it again when I finish. I wrote a little about it on my blog. Good luck on your move. I was wondering what you meant by controversial buddhist groups in Ireland?

Since I am not ordained or even well-trained, such a group would just be a lay-oriented study group, but better than nothing. By the way, welcome to the L8B. :) Yueheng: I love your site, and I think no one could do a better job of writing about Kannon/Guan-Yin. Thanks for sharing. :) Ryantha: Actually, I mentioned to my wife today the idea of starting my own Buddhist group in Ireland, and she wholeheartedly supported it.

You rock. :) Yeah, e-sangha hasn't yielded much info so far, and Tendai in the West appears to have an even smaller presence than Shingon Buddhism. Zen, Jodo Shinshu and Nichiren Buddhism appear to be the most widespread so far. Tenzin: Thanks for the info and welcome to the L8B. Like I said before, I don't have much interest in Tibetan Buddhism, at all. I was interested in the Dublin temple mostly because it's the most venerable (and least controversial) one I could find so far there. ;) Al: Thanks so much for the Tendai info.
