Buddhist missionaries

Buddhist missionaries are individuals who share and promote the teachings of Buddhism—such as compassion, mindfulness, and enlightenment—beyond their local communities. They often travel to new regions or countries, establishing temples, teaching meditation, and explaining Buddhist philosophy to diverse audiences. Their goal is to foster understanding, spiritual growth, and cultural exchange, helping people discover hope and ethical living. While some missionaries work independently, others are part of Buddhist organizations or institutions, adapting teachings to different cultural contexts while respecting local customs. Their work contributes to the global spread and appreciation of Buddhist principles.
