The term “engaged Buddhism” was created to restore the true meaning of Buddhism. Engaged Buddhism is simply Buddhism applied in our daily lives.If it’s not engaged, it can’t be called Buddhism. Buddhist practice takes place not only in monasteries, meditation halls and Buddhist institutes, but in whatever situation we find ourselves. Engaged Buddhism means the activities of daily life combined with the practice of mindfulness.
