Mission
Pragmatic Buddhism is mindfulness made meaningful for today’s world. When interpreted through the lens of Pragmatic philosophy, the teachings of the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, are a relevant recipe for whole-life development.
The ultimate result of Buddhism evolving through time is a practical life plan laid out by the Buddha and clarified through centuries of teachings, talks, and our own personal practice.
​
We offer training and practice in various Buddhist meditation techniques as well as community celebrations such as weddings, funerals, celebrations of new children, etc. to all people in Central Ohio.
​
Here at COCPB, we are passionately committed to diversity and inclusion both in our center and in our city, we have a special focus on members of our community who are LGBTQ+.
