ENGAGED BUDDHIST FESTIVAL OF PEACE AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION

The Festival celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB).

INEB is a network of Buddhist monks, nuns, thinkers, social activists and community leaders. Our aim is to integrate the Buddha’s messages on wisdom and compassion for social transformation to achieve a healthy, just and peaceful world. INEB reaches its 20th Anniversary in 2009.
