Jungto Society
“Once people become lighthearted and happier, they will start helping others who are suffering.”

In 1988, Jungto Society was founded with the aim of solving problems prevalent in modern society. Based on the Buddha’s teachings, we learn how to maintain a peaceful state of mind and take the ownership of our lives. Our vision is to create “Jungto,” a land where individuals are happy, society is peaceful, and nature is preserved.
We examine and cultivate our minds and keep our hearts pure and unburdened, free from suffering.
We strive for a peaceful society by recognizing the interconnectedness of all sentient beings.
We seek to live in balance and harmony with nature as it is the foundation of our existence and the origin of life.
We make donations and volunteer our time to help those in need and to better our society as a whole. We carry out various initiatives designed to protect the environment, help people lead happier lives, and promote peace in the world. For Jungto Practitioners, volunteering to help others is not a separate activity from doing individual practice.

What kind of nourishment are you feeding your mind for happiness?
The medicine is awareness. Recognize your own state of mind.
Like steady drops of water hollow out a stone,
be persistent in your practice of recognizing your state of mind.
That’s the nourishment your mind needs for happiness.
Jungto Society is a community of Buddhist practitioners who seek to free themselves of suffering in their daily lives and to make the world a better place.
