About the Club
 

The Emory Buddhist Club is a student-led effort to provide a weekly opportunity for anyone with any interest in Buddhism to meet, practice, and learn.

When Emory is in session we have a weekly meeting every Thursday at 6:00 in room 106 of Cannon Chapel at Emory's main campus in Atlanta, Georgia.

  

We welcome anyone, regardless of experience, point of view, or focus. For additional information, please contact us at info@buddhistclub.org or at (762) 218-2182.

Keeping the Practice Going
 

Thank you everyone who helped last spring!

When you mention the club or an upcoming event to a friend, colleague or student you help us... and when you make the time come to an event, your attendance creates a vibrant, diverse, welcoming Buddhist community for Emory students.

Thank you to The Emory Office of Religious Life, The Emory-Tibet Partnership, Drepung Loseling Monastery, and Students for a Free Tibet for their continued support.

  

Thank you to all of our special guests: Tsepak Rigzin, teacher of Tibetan Language and History at Emory University; Aaron Pincus, a Buddhist and a Chaplain for Emory's Midtown Hospital; and Brendan Ozawa-de Silva who is working to create a graduate program in secular ethics at Life University.
