Join our global community of wisdom, compassion, and mindful living.
The Western Bodhisattva Ministry (WBM) is dedicated to cultivating wisdom, compassion, and ethical living through the Bodhisattva path. Rooted in the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Bodhisattva Vow, we provide a modern, non-monastic, and Western-focused approach to Buddhist practice.
Our mission is to foster a strong, merit-based community that integrates spiritual discipline, family life, and mindful action while remaining free from foreign cultural traditions and institutional hierarchies. Through online teachings, local gatherings, and digital outreach, we empower individuals to walk the path of enlightenment in daily life, supporting one another in the pursuit of awakening and the liberation of all beings.
The Western Bodhisattva Ministry (WBM) is more than just a philosophy—it’s a way of life. Walk the Bodhisattva Path with a community of like-minded seekers dedicated to personal growth, ethical living, and spiritual awakening.
