Buddhist Prison Ministry provides the prison population with transformative tools and wisdom from the Buddhist tradition using accessible language and an interfaith lens, with the aim of fostering greater connection and ultimately interconnection with all forms of life.
Our programs and courses help participants and the people they live with develop deeper awareness, insight, kindness, understanding, forgiveness, spaciousness, inner and outer serenity, and compassion. The inner and outer peace cultivated will aid in the reduction of recidivism, increase of pro-social activity, and lead to a balanced life both inside and outside the walls.

STUDENT TESTIMONIAL
“This is a great course because it speaks the truth in a clear and concise way. Studying this course was like being in the presence of the Buddha Dharma. I wish more people throughout the world will find this course. Especially kids in school around the world. If this course can be offered in the major crime cities of America, I know it will impact the kids and their community. The violence will end. If this course can be available for kids in the third world Buddhist countries, I know it will help rejuvenate Buddhism and bring light to these Buddhist regions. I feel the youth of the world will benefit from this course, please find a way to offer this course to the youth because I know it will impact them in a positive way. This course is a Dharma jewel!”
