Stanford University

The Ho Center for Buddhist Studies at Stanford University has been endowed by the Foundation, along with two doctoral fellowships. The Center is dedicated to the promotion of both the academic study and public understanding of the Buddhist tradition, nurturing the steady growth of Buddhist studies at the university while exposing the broader community—through public programs, lectures, and seminars—to Buddhist ideas and traditions.
