Welcome from the Sangha Community

The University Chaplaincy is hiring a new Buddhist Chaplain as of Summer 2024. Please reach out to the University Chaplaincy with any questions. 

"Of all the communities at Tufts that seek to connect students, practice one's faith, and learn life-long lessons, the Tufts Buddhist Mindfulness Sangha (Sangha means a wholesome community) has been the most astounding. As a freshman, I attended Venerable Priya's talks, and in my first semester we discussed Buddhist texts, went to dinners dedicated to fostering spirituality and compassion, held movie nights, and learned from our local community of monastics. This year as a rising senior, I look back on my years feeling excited to see what new community members will learn and the questions they will have. Welcome to the Sangha!" -Ryan Dreher, A21, Former Co-president, Tufts Buddhist Mindfulness Sangha
