The Barre Center for Buddhist Studies (BCBS) was founded in 1990 by Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg.[1] It was founded as a complement to the nearby Insight Meditation Society retreat center, and operates as an independent educational organization.[2] BCBS endeavors to create a unique bridge between rigorous academic study, deep religious practice, and contemporary social engagement.[3][4]

BCBS hosts many visiting meditation teachers and academic faculty, including Joanna Macy, Charles Hallisey, Gregory Kramer, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, Stephen Batchelor, and more.[5] BCBS has become an established center for Buddhist Studies in America,[6] and is on the forefront of internal dharma movements including Ecodharma[7] and Socially Engaged Buddhism.[8][9]
