Hi everybody

Anyone know whether there is any Buddhist community in Hong Kong?

I'd love to join one.

Also pls let me know if there is a place where you can sign up for volunteer work to help the needy in HK during your free time.

Thankssss

To sign up for volunteer work you can go to Ho Sum.

For Buddhism, you might contact the HK Buddhist Association: 1/F, 338 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
Tel : 2574 9371
There are so many Buddhist organizations so I suspect this is a good place to start.
If you don't speak Cantonese, your choices will probably be limited, but heck you only need one! Oh, there is a Buddhist book store somewhere in Central but am afraid I don't know anymore than that.

Hi Vcorn,

I am the member of the following buddhist organization:
Soka Gakkai International Official Website: Home

There are many English speaking members and you can call their centre in Prince Edward (kowloon side) to find out more.

And, I also attended few classes at the following centre:

Buddhist Lodge of Laity

My Amercian friend used to go a buddhist centre in Wanchai and I can find out for you if you want to know more.

Cheers!
Rachel

Er, I think maybe you ought to read up a bit on Buddhism. It isn't a theistic religion and the concept of "praying" really doesn't apply at all since there isn't a god to pray to.
Perhaps start here: Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
