The mission of the Engaged Buddhism Group is to support social causes to reduce suffering and to develop Bodhicitta both on and off the cushion. Past activities includes writing letters for Vote Forward to get out the vote, volunteering time and donating money to non-profits in Portland, and building awareness of Climate Change, its disproportionate effects, and how we respond as Buddhists. Many of us are engaging in the wider world in myriad ways, but the Engaged Buddhism group is not currently meeting. This group may be revived by interested sangha members who want to come together around an issue or activity. Talk to Tim or email .
