Socially Engaged Buddhism applies the teachings of the Buddha to social life in order to bring about social change. Socially Engaged Buddhists hope to connect traditional Buddhist beliefs to social service and action. In the heart of Socially Engaged Buddhism lies the belief that inner peace and outer change are inseparable. This path fosters a sense of responsibility for the world and a commitment to alleviate the suffering of all beings.

Join us on a journey to explore Socially Engaged Buddhism and discover how you can become a catalyst for positive change in your own life and in the world around you.
