Cultivating Peace, Dismantling War Buddhist Peace Fellowship 2006 Resource Page

In 2006, the Buddhist Peace Fellowship (BPF) invites its more than 4,000 members and 45 chapters across the world to continue reflecting and acting on the theme, "Cultivating Peace, Dismantling War." We hope that the Buddhist community at large takes this call to heart and explores the connection between dharma teachings and peacemaking.

Throughout the year, BPF will publish writings on peacemaking, disarmament, and demilitarization from a Buddhist perspective; organize events and actions related to this theme; work in coalition with other
activist and faith-based organizations on this theme; and offer other resources (see below).

We encourage our members and the entire Buddhist community to take this year as an opportunity to explore what peacebuilding means on many levels, both internal and external.
