The purpose of BCCSS is to integrate the academic learning that takes place in the classroom into our meditation practice, as well as in the day-to-day services we provide in our professional roles in contemplative care. As a group, we also support the various Buddhist traditions our members practice as a University facility resource. As students, we will strive to discern the practical nature of our studies in Buddhism and merge these teachings with our deep spiritual commitment to care for others with wisdom and compassion.
