The Earth Sangha is a Buddhist environmental nonprofit. We are committed to practical environmental action that is informed with the Buddhist principles of nonviolence, tolerance, self-awareness, and compassion for other living things. ("Sangha" is the Buddhist term for congregation or community.)

Our formal mission is to practice Buddhism in ways that help people become better stewards of the planet, and to do the practical environmental work that good stewardship demands. Our membership is open to everyone; many of our members are committed to religions other than Buddhism, and many have no apparent religious commitment at all.

To learn more about the Earth Sangha, you can look at the connections between Buddhism and the environment, browse our library (which includes issues of our newsletter), or look at our Sangha News.

The Earth Sangha was selected as one of Greater Washington's best small charities by the 2005-06 Catalogue for Philanthropy. Open the press release to learn more. Please visit our Catalogue page! Click on the banner below.

To participate in the Earth Sangha, you can meditate with us, work as a Native Forest Gardener, or become a member.

Note: the Earth Sangha's new website will launch on or about May 1, 2008.

Please contact us if you have any questions, and feel free to sign our guest book!
