We at the Proud Black Buddhist website hold that; "Black Scholars & Black teachers must emerge to introduce and teach Buddhism to Black people in America. We hold that it is the Priest role to maintain the purity of Buddhism from within, however in society we Americans are the teachers and the ones who can effectively communicate Buddhist Teachings.
