Welcome from the Buddhist Chaplain
Welcome to the Buddhist Chaplaincy at Tufts!
Buddhist Chaplaincy at Tufts is here for you. Tufts Mindfulness Sangha is looking forward to welcoming you. We are here to listen to your story and questions. Buddhist Chaplaincy creates a safe space for you to listen to, realize and practice teachings of the Buddha. Many spiritual journeys always begin with non-spiritual questions. As the Buddha himself starts his spiritual journey with a non-spiritual question. Your question can be spiritual or non-spiritual. We are here to help you begin your journey with rituals, chanting, Dhamma talks, Dhamma discussions, meditation and many more opportunities.
A group of thirty princes were running in search of a thief. They met the Buddha and asked, “Sir, did you see a woman running away?”. He asked,
“What do you think is better for you: that you search for a woman, or that you search for yourselves?”
(11, Mahakhandhaka, Vinaya Pitaka)
Come and join us and let’s find who we are together!
Welcome from the Sangha Community
"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
