Team

The Buddha Project is made possible through our organisational, designing, programming, and translating skills.

That we are able to reach out to so many people and encourage them to meditate, calm their hindrances, seek a way to end suffering and benefit all living beings, is truly amazing. None of this would’ve been possible without each contribution. May the merits lighten your burdens, brighten your heart, and illuminate your path.
