    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.
