About [Edit]
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 teachings of wisdom and
compassion with progressive social change.
Through our worldwide network of 4,000 members and 45 chapters, our
vision is to bring peace where there is conflict, to promote communication and
cooperation among Buddhist sanghas, and to alleviate suffering wherever
possible.
We strive to:
- €Offer a public witness, through our practice, for peace and protection
of all beings
- Raise humanitarian, environmental, and social justice concerns among
Buddhist communities
- Bring a Buddhist perspective to contemporary 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 with compassion
- Appreciate the importance of not clinging to views and outcomes
- Work with Buddhists from all traditions
- Connect individual and social transformation
- 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
- Work for a sustainable environment
