What are the major types of Buddhism, and which one does PBA represent?
Western Buddhists, including those at PBA, are most commonly practitioners of one of three traditions: Zen, Theravada or Tibetan Buddhism. PBA welcomes practitioners from these or any other Buddhist tradition, as well as seekers wishing to learn more about Buddhism. Although PBA has no resident teacher, many PBA members currently study with a recognized teacher or have done so in the past; . some also maintain an association with other Buddhist centers.
