The first Buddhist society in Lebanon, we practice "Progressive Buddhism," a method which takes the best of the Buddhist body of teachings and keeps what is most appropriate for a rational and fulfilling way of life.
 
If we differ somewhat in our approach, our ultimate goal, like Buddhists all over the world, is awakening.
 
The aims of the Buddhist Society of Lebanon are:

• To provide a virtual meeting place for Progressive Buddhists;

• To encourage intellectual debate about Buddhism in the shape of a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal;

• To explore the challenges facing Buddhism at the beginning of the third millennium and the possibilities of change in the form of "Progressive Buddhism" (see our "Statement of Principles" for more on Progressive Buddhism)
