The Barre Center for Buddhist Studies (BCBS) was founded in 1990 by Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg.[1][2] It was founded as a complement to the nearby Insight Meditation Society retreat center, and operates as an independent educational nonprofit organization.[3][4][5]
BCBS hosts many visiting meditation teachers and academic faculty, including Joanna Macy, Charles Hallisey, Gregory Kramer, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, Stephen Batchelor, and more.[6] BCBS has become an established center for Buddhist Studies in America,[7] and is on the forefront of internal dharma movements including Ecodharma[8] and Socially Engaged Buddhism.[9][10]
