Interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue

The Institute Hispano of Buddhists Studies (IEBH, in Spanish) is pleased to invite you to the Hispanic Celebration of International Buddha Day 2021. Once a year we meet representatives, practitioners and people related to the different schools of Buddhism to celebrate the International Day of the Buddha, in order to unify efforts in the dissemination of his teaching. We celebrate that we can count on the invaluable knowledge of the path to liberation from suffering as discovered and expounded by the Buddha, and that we can be part of this transmission for the benefit of many.
