Socially Engaged Buddhism

Socially Engaged Buddhism is a movement that applies traditional Buddhist principles—such as compassion, mindfulness, and interdependence—to address social issues like poverty, inequality, and environmental harm. It emphasizes active participation in creating social change, advocating for justice, peace, and sustainability, while cultivating personal spiritual growth. This approach recognizes that alleviating suffering extends beyond individual practice to engaging in efforts that improve society, demonstrating that spiritual development and social responsibility are interconnected components of a compassionate life.
