About the Shinnyo-en Foundation
The Shinnyo-en Foundation seeks to promote harmony and peace through meaningful acts of service. It provides grants, shares resources, and partners with non-profit organizations to support education programs that engage and inspire young people in meaningful acts of service.
The Foundation was established in 1994 by Shinnyo-en, a lay Buddhist denomination originally established in Japan whose members strive to live with the utmost sincerity and respect for others. (Translated from the Japanese, Shinnyo-en means “a borderless garden of truth.”) Shinnyo-en now has temples in many countries.
The Foundation is a secular foundation focused on enabling individuals to improve their communities through service without regard to faith or background. Six Billion Paths to Peace is a major initiative of the Shinnyo-en Foundation that intends to raise people’s awareness of how the small actions people take in their daily life to enhance their own peace and the peace of others have a positive ripple effect in their communities and the world.
