Description

Buddhism goes beyond right and left to get to the heart of what matters.

It is said that genuine wisdom is manifested in compassionate action. We work to actualize the ideals of wisdom and compassion in today's world by helping deal with the problems of today's world.

Socially engaged Buddhists integrate the inner cultivation that comes from meditation and self-reflection and the outer transformation of society, which is the work of activism, art, ecology, and community service.
