Engaged Buddhism

Engaged Buddhism applies the Buddhist Framework to social, political, environmental and economic suffering, and injustice with the goal of creating positive change.

Affinity Groups

Miriam Webster defines affinity groups as "a set of people having a common interest or acting together for a specific purpose".

As a broad mission, AIMC has an ongoing commitment to do our best to create and sustain a safe, inclusive space for everyone to share in the dhamma. In recognition of the challenges that even well-meaning predominantly white, straight, and cis institutions create for people with historically oppressed identities, we are committed to the supporting and encouraging affinity groups for members who share the same identity. These groups provide a space to gather and establish deeper connection. The creation of affinity groups will be generated by and through the membership.
