Buddhist Life at Emory creates opportunities for enhancing Buddhist community and practices on campus through regular programming. Buddhist Life programs focus on meditations, teachings, communities, and cultures from the various Buddhist schools and traditions. Our regular programs include bi-weekly meditations, Dharma discussions, semesterly off-campus retreats, and ceremonies for Emory students, faculty and staff.
Donations to Buddhist Life will help with our communal practices such as getting more cushions for meditation, enhancing our Buddhist Altars/Shrines, organizing special Dharma discussions with guest teachers, retreats, and events such as Bodhi Day and Buddha Day.
Our bi-weekly meditation and Dharma discussion programs attract about 30 participants on average. This regular community has become a thriving space for practice, learning, and connection among Emory students, faculty, and staff.
The off-campus Buddhist retreat is increasingly popular among students. The opportunity to practice in the mountains away from internet and electronic devices attracts both Buddhist and non-Buddhist students as it allows for rest, peace, and community.
