What is MITRA?

MITRA is a network of youth Buddhist societies with connections to many youth Buddhist groups and the greater Buddhist community. Currently, our members include MacBuddhi (Macquarie University), Unibodhi (Sydney University) and UTS Buddhist Society, and affiliated with Unibuds (University of NSW), Blia-yad (Nan Tien Buddhist Temple Youth) Tzu-Ching (Taiwanese Relief Foundation) & Lankarama (Sri Lankan Buddhist Youth). Our organisation also actively involves alumni and community support.

MITRA’s Vision Statement

MITRA aims to support youth organisations, especially at tertiary educational institutions, that connect young people to the Dharma. We believe it is during youth, and particularly during tertiary study, that we develop fundamental values that guide us through our lives. As youth, we bring our own perspectives to the Dharma, relating it to modern life and making it accessible to our peers. Through MITRA, we aim to reach out and foster friendship between people interested in moral and spiritual values, and to assist in passing the Buddha’s teachings on to future generations.

The network exists primarily to support youth Buddhist groups in their attempts to propagate the Dharma. We may be able to assist your organisation in many ways as part of our outreach work. A part of this initiative can be seen in our Resources section.
