                                                               Our Vision


     The Buddhist Peace fellowship envisions a future in which people from all

backgrounds come into a heartfelt realization of our interconnection to each other

and to the Earth. We belief that actions generated from this understanding will

creat societies guided by generosity, compassion, wisdom, and justice.

Our Mission

The mission of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship (BPF), founded in 1978, is to

serve as a catalyst for socially engaged Buddhism. Our purpose is to help beings

liberate themselves from the suffering that manifests in individuals, relationships,

institutions, and social systems. BPF’s programs, publications, and practice groups

link Buddhist teaching os wisdom and compassion with progressive social change.

We strive to:

- Offer a public witness, throug our practice, for peace and protection

of all beings

-Raise humanitarian, environmental, and social justice concerns

among Buddhist communities

- Bring a Buddhist perspective to contemorary peace, environmental,

and social justice movements

Our practice of contemplation and social action is guided by our intentions to:

-recognize the interdependence of all beings

-Meet suffering directly and wiht compassion

-Appreciate the importance of not clinging to views and outcomes

-Work with Buddhists from all traditions

-Connect individual and social transformatin

-Practice nonviolence

-Use participatory decision-making techniques

-Protect and extend human rights

-Support gender and racial equality and challenge all forms of

unjust discrimination

-Work for economic justice and the end of poverty
