About Jediyana
Why Jediyana? - Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Jediyana...instead of being based on the past, on myths and stories from the past which are fiction that is not acknowledged, Jediyana is based on myths and stories from acknowledged fiction based on the Dhamma and the Tao and mythology and archetypes that human cultures are built upon.
Inspiration is drawn primarily from viewing the first six Star Wars movies in light of the Dhamma.
We are not caught up in plot point analysis or details of the Star Wars universe but rather are inspired by the quotes and heroes and stories of the dramatic fiction. We are after the broader lessons as they apply to life.
Star wars is accessible to modern culture, and is a strong starting point for discussions and enlivening the philosophy of the Buddha’s teaching. It’s the vehicle not the destination, the means not the end.
Jediyana is pragmatic, putting the Dhamma in modern cultural context and inspiring the three elixirs: generosity, compassion and wisdom, with their permutations: kindness, acceptance, and intuition, and the antidotes to the five hindrances: faith, confidence, creativity, patience, enthusiasm.

We are not live action role play, we are not gaming, playing, or fantasists.
We are creators of a new tradition of Buddhism.

Sensei's BD |
Before building the wellness center in realtime we are available to talk about what we do and offer Noble Friendship.
“Friendship, companionship, camaraderie that brings out the best in everyone is actually the whole of the holy life. When a person has admirable people as friends, companions, & comrades, they can (all) be expected to develop & pursue the noble eightfold path.” ~Upaddha Sutta
The Jediyana tradition derives from the teachings of the Buddha, who called himself the tathagata “one who has gone thus” and we admit we pick and choose what’s most important to us - so that would be Noble Friends and skillful speech for two.
