“Buddhist” Intellectual Practice Tools for Integrating Spirituality & Social Change Work

Think Sangha was/is a socially engaged Buddhist think tank begun in 1996 affiliated with the International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB). We use a Buddhist sangha model to explore pressing social issues and concerns. The group’s methodology is one based in friendship and Buddhist practice as much as theory and thought. The Think Sangha’s core activities are networking with other thinker-activists, producing Buddhist critiques of social structures and alternative social models, and providing materials and resource persons for trainings, conferences, and research on social issues and grassroots activism. Since it’s last conference in 2011 in India, it has been on extended hiatus.
