Goals / Remit
The European Buddhist Union (EBU) is an umbrella
association of Buddhist organisations and national
Buddhist unions in Europe.
We welcome groups from all schools and traditions
of Buddhism in Europe wishing to work together in a
spirit of friendly co-operation and respect for diversity,
on the basis of Buddhist teachings.
We value non-violence, compassion, loving kindness
and responsibility, which we consider to be at the
heart of Buddhism.
We advocate for human rights and equality for all,
regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
language, religion, nationality, social origins, birth
status or any other distinction.
We share the values that inspired the founders of the
Council of Europe and the European Union: creating
and maintaining peace, solidarity and diversity across
Europe via the maintenance of free, democratic, open
and non-discriminatory states.
We believe that Buddhist practice, founded in
a deep understanding of conditionality and
interconnectedness, can help transform individuals
and therefore societies.
With wisdom and compassion, we can transform
unhealthy consumerism and over-exploitation of our
planet into care for all life forms and deep respect for
the earth.
We wish to:
• facilitate international Buddhist exchange
• promote spiritual friendship
• support social action based on Buddhist values and
• be a voice for Buddhism in Europe and the world.
We envision a European fellowship of Buddhists
bringing Buddhist ideas and principles into European
society. We aspire to help bring about a world guided
by wisdom and compassion, for the happiness and
wellbeing of all.Main EU files targeted
