Chung Huong Institute®

Chung Huong Institute® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation pioneered entirely by Buddhist nuns. The Chung Huong Institute embraces nonsectarianism across all Buddhist schools of thought. We encourage everyone to expand their scope of awareness, as genuine study, introspection, and practice should not be limited by a confined mindset or narrow perspective. Transcending personal limitations enables individuals to progress toward appreciating universal values and equality for all.

Our mission is to serve as a unifying bridge between the three major Buddhist traditions–Theravāda, Mahāyāna, and Tibetan–offering an integrated perspective on the Buddha’s teachings. By weaving together ancient spiritual wisdom with insights from modern science, we create a dynamic space where tradition and contemporary understanding meet, enriching the path of personal and collective awakening.

This is accomplished by bridging the sciences with Buddhist cosmology.
