Engaged Buddhism

Buddhism teaches us to practice generosity (dāna) as part of right action. Compassionate action (karuṇā) involves addressing issues such as poverty, discrimination, and justice. Wisdom (prajñā) guides us in engaging with the world in meaningful ways. Below are some organizations that offer opportunities for practitioners to take such action:

Compassion in Action: Karuna USA — Triratna NY • NJ

Buddhist Peace Fellowship

Buddhist Action Coalition NYC

Buddhist Council of New York

Events – Union Theological Seminary

We the People’s Project – Braver Angels
