Over het evenement

We want to invite delegates who share the visions of European Buddhist Chaplaincy and who are keen to contribute to its development over the next few years.

Speakers will include dharma teachers, researchers, pioneers, and changemakers from across Europe and the United States.We will reflect on the unique opportunities and challenges within the European context and explore:-  the practice of Buddhist spiritual care in different public settings (hospital, hospice, prison)-  the European approach to Buddhist chaplaincy-  the training needs and pathways to becoming a Buddhist chaplain-  the various training models offered in the United States and Asia-  the new training course for Buddhist chaplains planned by the EBU-  the insights from chaplains of other denominationsIn addition, the conference will provide forums to identify spiritual and pastoral needs within Buddhist communities to encourage broader community cohesion and social integration.

All are warmly welcome, especially Dharma practitioners serving in public settings/ engaged in sangha care and anyone interested in Buddhist contemplative-based spiritual care. Sessions can also be followed live online.Our deepest wish is to find ways to work together and serve others in the full spirit of dhamma / dharma. We are looking forward to seeing you in Rome this June!
