Statement on Recent Developments
At the Ho Center for Buddhist Studies at Stanford we stand in solidarity with African Americans and their struggle for racial equality. We believe that violence and systemic racism cannot be tolerated. Goodwill, compassion, empathy and equanimity should be the guiding principles of our actions, in line with the teachings of Buddhism and the dictates of humanity.
