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.
“There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.”
