Introduction In its investigation of Buddhist practices of an American-Japanese Buddhist temple in the United States, this study aimed to research divergence in rituals, activities, and member participation within these practices. The investigation involved interviews with reverends, participation in regular religious services, and involvement in social activities. This article presents the results of this research. First, a background to Buddhism and Asian communication will be given to highlight the context and relevance of the research. Then, communication of Buddhist ceremonies will be reviewed to provide more detailed information of this style of communication. Third, the setting of the research will be explained in detail to more fully understand the environment in which the observations took place. Finally, results from the analysis of the ceremonies will be presented followed by a discussion of these results. The research aims to show how practices have been adapted to the non-Japanese environment of the American services to make the Teaching of the Buddha more accessible, understandable and practical to the service's attendees.
