Dear Friend of the Tufts Buddhist Chaplaincy,<\/div>\n
The Buddhist community at Tufts is itself a mandala, incorporating through student practice and culture the vibrant diversity of the Buddhist path. Through the Buddhist Chaplaincy\u2019s integrative approach, students learn how their different spiritual heritages and Dharma paths are unified through the Middle Way of the Buddha. As students develop spiritual friendships through shared meditation, study, field trips and celebrations, they are developing wisdom and compassion in ways that also prepare them to practice skills of dialogue and peace as global citizens in this increasingly interconnected world.<\/p>\n

Every week, we offer students several opportunities to replenish their wellspring of peace and mindfulness. Once each semester, we hold weekend retreats, which are well attended \u00a0 Students consistently report these are some of the most outstanding events of their academic year\u2014supporting inner growth and relieving student stress, which enhances well-being.<\/p>\n

Aolani Lopez, one of our Sangha student leaders, expresses her gratitude in advance:<\/p><\/div>\n

Although\u00a0 I was not raised Buddhist, the community and love the Tufts Buddhist Mindfulness Sangha cultivates really resonates with me and makes me feel at peace…to have found a place on campus that is full of gratitude and focused on staying mindful and present has really helped me overcome many personal and outwardly obstacles. I am so thankful to be a part of the executive board this year and for all the work Ji Hyang, our chaplain leader, and the other students on the e-board and in the sangha put in to make the space warm and inviting.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
