Abstract
“We the Sangha: A Podcast Series on Buddhist Asian America” is a six-episode, story-driven podcast series that explores the transformative impact of Asian American Buddhists on US society. Curated and hosted by author and scholar Chenxing Han and produced by Axis Mundi Media in partnership with the Asian Pacific American Religions Research Initiative (APARRI), the series features conversations with artists, activists, and scholars to illuminate the diversity of Buddhist Asian America—across ethnicities, generations, and traditions. Blending rigorous research with intimate storytelling, “We the Sangha” offers an empathetic, community-rooted lens on race, religion, and belonging, advancing public understanding of Asian American Buddhism’s contributions to America’s cultural and spiritual fabric.
