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 also have periodic field trips to nearby Buddhist communities and centers.

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.
