The Hindu-Jain Temple or HJT is just down right awesome! From the priests to the downstairs hall…read moreor the peacefully feeling you get when you enter, this is one of the best places around! The HJT is located in Monroville, not far from 395, so access to east and west and Pittsburgh are very easy. The positives (man where do I start): The HJT is usually kept, clean, quiet and very welcoming. They have a great volunteer organization which helps run everything from the day activities, Sunday school and special holidays like Diwali. My favorite thing about the HJT are the deities inside the temple(this is a Vishnu centric) temple but they also have two Jain deities. That in a nut shell speaks volumes. The area and this temple can have two different religions in the same Temple and worship as one. So this is def. my go to place when I travel back to Pittsburgh, its quiet, clean, and you truly feel at peace when you walk in. I would highly recommend anyone checking it out. Some notes: They do not serve food normally, unless there is an event or Sunday school going on. The Temple is up the hill with plenty of parking in the back, if the front gets full. Also they have a side entrance for cold/icy months.

I don't feel comfortable rating this masjid but I have to so I picked a 3 for neutrality…read more I tried going and it's a nice place, but I stopped going because the women are so segregated. I can't even see the imam when he is speaking, which makes it near impossible to pay attention. I get to stare at a wall partition and hardly be able to hear because of loud kids screaming around us, both of which only makes my mind tune out and wander so I get next to nothing from the experience. They try to have nice community events but women need to go to the basement which is not an enjoyable place to be, while men get to eat in the nice Musallah. In 25 years of being Muslim, I never had to deal with the segregation I have experienced in every Pittsburgh masjid. And thank God for that, because it helped me remain involved in Muslim communities. But I have stopped attending all masajid since moving to Pittsburgh. The Prophet (saw) had women pray behind men in the same space, without partitions. I do not know why modern Muslims feel they have to "improve upon" the Prophet's ways. That said, I appreciate everyone who works hard for the masjid because I know their work isn't easy, and I pray everyone who goes there consistently and always grows closer to Allah and finds an amazing community. My kids enjoy going there when their friends are there.

Such a gorgeous masjid Subhanallah. They just did a stunning remodeling. And the community is…read morewonderful, generally very respectful to others and of Islamic etiquette, and welcoming to everyone from all backgrounds including reverts, and even non-Muslims to learn about Islam and the Muslim community! It's a very very diverse community and all different backgrounds mix. There's events and classes including some free classes. Imam Chris and the staff and volunteers are great, they really care about the needs of the community and try to keep open dialogue. Imam Chris is very knowledgeable and answers questions from the community or if you're interested to know about Islam. If you haven't come yet, you must! This is a photo of the sisters section. They gave us all this comfy seating in the prayer room like queens Alhamdullah

This was a nice church to hold an event in. I am not a church go-er; in fact, it has been years…read moresince I've stepped into a church (I wrote in a tip that I'm surprised my skin didn't burn when I walked in). Nevertheless, the venue was great for an event that I helped set up for for a friend. The church, like many in Pittsburgh, has great character, with older stone walls and wooden structures that are pleasing to the eye. A con is that the church unfortunately didn't have AC- this was troublesome on a hot June day (I don't know how church goers handle this in the summer). Further, there was only a tiny parking lot in the back, leaving a lot of people to try to find street parking in North Oakland (which is typically a nightmare).

I've been a member of the sangha at TRDC for about a year and a half now, and I really like it. The center is small, but the community is growing and the people are very nice. The center is actually a small apartment, with the living room converted to the main meditation area and the bedroom as a media center. The main weekly practice is a Purification Practice, in English and accessible to beginners, held on Sundays from 11ish am to 12.30ish pm. There are also specialty practices held at other intervals; they just recently added a Full Moon Medicine Buddha practice, which takes place the evening of each full moon; check the website schedule for details. Three Rivers Dharma Center is a friendly and welcoming environment for beginners, the curious, and dedicated practitioners alike. TRDC is associated with the Tibetan Meditation Center in Frederick, MD, the North American home of a number of highly regarded Tibetan lamas. One of these, Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche, is the founder and spiritual director of TRDC. TRDC doesn't have a resident lama, but visiting monks and lamas come and give teachings several times a year.
