The purpose of this study is to examine the level of social inclusion for sexual minorities among members of Won -Buddhism through a perception survey. To assess the level of social inclusion, the survey was divided into three stages: acceptance of sexual minorities in general, acceptance of sexual minorities as members of the Won -Buddhism community, and acceptance of openly homosexuality individuals as leaders within Won -Buddhism. A total of 635 responses collected from both online and offline surveys conducted from November 2021 to January 2022 were analyzed. First, the general perception of sexual minorities among members of Won -Buddhism was around 20% higher compared to the 2021 survey of the general Korean population. Opinions regarding same-sex couples" marriage and adoption also differed from the broader Korean societal survey, with more respondents expressing support than opposition. Acceptance of a acquaintance‘ coming out is twice as high as opposition. Secondly, the acceptance of sexual minorities as members of Won Buddhism was assessed with regard to negative factors such as "violating Buddhist principles," "lacking qualifications," "unsuitability for leadership," "refusal of fellow believer,’ with 60% to 70% of respondents answering "not true." Third, when it came to ordained monastics and practitioners who openly identified as homosexual, respondents overwhelmingly chose options such as " equal ordination decision" (63%) and "equal practice activities" (71%). The social acceptance of sexual minorities among members of Won Buddhism is significantly higher than in mainstream society. However, the organization itself is not yet fully prepared to actively embrace this acceptance. Efforts within the Won Buddhist community are needed to eliminate discrimination and promote conversion and ordination without bias against sexual minorities. Regarding the seven criteria for restricting sexual minorities within Won -Buddhism, opinions that sexual minorities" activities do not conflict with the teachings ranged from 60% to 70% for each criterion. Around 60% of respondents felt that the Won-Buddhist community was not adequately prepared for dealing with the issues of sexual minorities and integration with the monastic order. While general acceptance of sexual minorities among the members of the Won- Buddhist community was very high, actual acceptance within the context of the religious order appeared to be lower when compared to the general acceptance rates. There was a more limited acceptance of sexual minorities when it came to roles and qualifications for monastic ordination and temple leadership. The issues of integrating sexual minorities into the monastic order and temple leadership are pressing concerns. There is a need for analysis to understand the discrepancy between perceived acceptance and actual application, and discussions and agreements within the religious order are required at this juncture.
