Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi introduces a new "Sangha Council" of Buddhist monastics who will offer spiritual guidance for Buddhist Global Relief and provide Dharma teachings and inspiration for the worldwide BGR community.
This winter, Vice-Chair David Braughton traveled to Sri Lanka to meet with staff and beneficiaries of BGR projects. In this essay, he shares highlights from a "profoundly moving" journey.
By Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi • Reflections on the life and impact of the Berkeley Zen Center abbot, founder of the Clear View Project. Alan was one of the leaders of Engaged Buddhism here in the United States, serving as executive director of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship from 1991 through 2001 .
The U.S. executive branch's attempt to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) “has created abrupt and enormous gaps in the flow of essential, lifesaving care for families," according to BGR partner Helen Keller Intl. "As of now, we estimate that at least 121 million people in the countries where Helen Keller works are in immediate danger as a result."
By Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi • The destabilization of the Earth’s climate system is the most perilous crisis humankind has ever faced. BGR's founder offers a teaching on this topic through the lenses of food insecurity and the Dharma.
A project with the Bangladesh Buddhist Missionary Society provides food for orphaned children from impoverished families at the Orphans’ Home Complex in the remote Chittagong Hill Tracts region.
Myanmar is facing an extreme, humanitarian crisis driven by political turmoil and systemic challenges. At the heart of this growing catastrophe is a food insecurity crisis.
On Saturday, October 26, 2024, BGR founder and chair Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi hosted our annual Buddhist Action to Feed the Hungry online gathering, a beautiful celebration of all that we have accomplished together.
Please join Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi and the global BGR community for our annual online gathering, to be held on Saturday, October 26 from 1 to 3 pm Eastern Time (10 am to 12 pm Pacific Time).
You, as a friend of BGR, are one of the reasons we can award grants each year to support child nutrition and education, teach community gardening (while providing seeds and tools), and empower marginalized women through vocational training in various marketable fields.
