History of the Buddhist Chaplaincy

Tufts Buddhist Chaplaincy started in 2014 when Venerable Upali Sraman joined the team as Tufts Buddhist Chaplaincy Intern. A year later, the position was re-titled Buddhist In Residence. When Venerable Upali left in 2016, Venerable Priya Rakkhit Sraman became the second Buddhist in Residence, and then the Buddhist Chaplain, a position in which he served until 2020. Ji Hyang Padma accepted the call to serve the Tufts Sangha  as Buddhist Chaplain in summer 2021.
