Zen Peacemakers

Our Mission

We seek to bear witness to the joy and suffering of the universe, and to realize and actualize the oneness and interdependence of life through study, practice and action for personal and social transformation. We seek to connect and empower peacemakers throughout the world. We are committed to nonviolence, inclusivity, free expression and experimentation.

Our Vision

We envision an enlightened society where suffering is transformed into wisdom and compassion and all beings live in harmony and are relieved of the afflictions of hunger, war and disease. Spirituality and service are tools we use to help all beings find freedom regardless of race, religion, ability, gender or nationality.

Statement on Peacemaking and the Three Tenets

Zen Peacemaking is helping individuals and societies realize and actualize the oneness (interconnectedness) of life. This actualization results in a reduction of suffering for both the individual and society.
