About Us

Center for Pragmatic Buddhism

Are you looking for a community

that relates the Buddha's ancient wisdom to your daily life? 

​

Would you want it to be both 'secular' and 'spiritual'

and open to contemporary scientific insights including:

physics, neurology, and evolutionary & positive psychology?

​

The Center for Pragmatic Buddhism focuses on a non-dogmatic,

practical application of the Buddha's core message.

​

We are open to insights from all Buddhist traditions

as well as from the human development movement.

​

Pragmatic Buddhism is mindfulness

made meaningful for today’s world.

​

When interpreted through the lens of pragmatic philosophy,

the philosophy of the Buddha, Siddartha Gotama,

is a relevant recipe for whole-life development.


With a lineage of both Chan and Zen,

Pragmatic Buddhism ( PB ) is an empirical, practical,

and practicable action plan for cultivating situational virtuosity.
